If you're taking about the kind with a lever and wheel on it that hooks on swingarm spool, I'd recommend boxing it if you don't want it all effed up.

Yeah, just stick a label it, LMAO......watch those wheels get bent or even completely broken off.

If you are talking about the gold one, with just one arm, I have one. I can measure it when I get home if you want.

I shipped a set of Pitbulls to someone here on the forum and I got absolutely raked over the coals on shipping costs. I totally underestimated the shipping costs and took it in the shorts. I wasn't about to ask the buyer to pony up more money after we had an agreement.

Honestly, if I had asked the buyer to pay what shipping actually was, they might as well have bought new stands. I got them out of the garage and they went to someone here, so that's good I suppose.
