Raimondo,
I purchased a wheel chock with a chain on ebay a year or so ago. It has the
NSN 2540-00-676-3469 if I read the numbers right, it's stamped on wood and
is not totally clear.
The shipping charges could be a bear, my winning bid was $5.00 and the
shipping came to $20.90 (which I think was excessive for about 12 lb). The
sellers email address was <cnote@bigvally.net>. That's all I have on this.
Check ebay from time to time. Didn't find anything this morning.
Cheers,
Bjorn
