Surely there must be someone back at base who could arrange for a spare box to be flown out to you Iain?
On of my first motorsport related task back in the day was to take a crate of spare parts - nose cone in an open crate with other parts strapped to bits of the crate, shock absorbers and brake parts mostly iirc. - to Rapid Movements near Heathrow for shipping overnight to South Africa.
I thought they were joking. Who knew stuff could be sent such distances so quickly AND retrieved at the other end in hours rather than days?
I wasn't quite sure where RM were and managed to miss the turning that would have taken me there, subsequently driving around for a couple of hours before I found them. Still in time for successful transportation though.
OK, so NZ would take a little longer - probably too late for this weekend. But it's the idea that should be considered!
