Tony,
I'm not clear if you're shipping or trying to insruct the shipper, but, but maybe you are trying to make this too difficult. When I sold my Patrick's 3.55 to a guy in New Mexico, I just shipped the entire "Chunk" with the torque tube attached. They banded the whole thing to a pallet, and away it went. They charge by weight and the torque tube didn't increase the cost by much (if any). By the way, this was air freight, buyer arranged, he said it was only a little more than by truck.
