The next day we had to re-check our bag, which in addition to wrenches, drivers, etc., a corded electric drill.
Leading evidence: 'Check bag' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

I don't see why not but worst case they'd just make you check the bag and charge you the BS fee for that.

Good to know as I've never had to change a rotor on my car so won't know how heavy they actually were.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Any ideas whether I'll be allowed to bring as carry-on (hand luggage) the following:
- disc brakes/rotors
- spark plugs
- brake pads (street use)
How heavy is one std front rotor for 996.2?
I don't see why not but worst case they'd just make you check the bag and charge you the BS fee for that. I planned to do the same with an Audi RS2 manifold and turbo years ago but ended up just putting it all in my suitcase on a return trip from Germany. On another occasion I did put 4 springs from an Audi S6+ Avant as well as an ECU in my carry-on from France, no problems.
At the end of the day it most likely comes down to the individual guy on the machine these days and/or which airport and country you are departing from.
A set of full rotors/pads, and assorted other brake hardware weighs -- according to Pelican's site -- 89.24lbs.
My WAG is a standard front rotor weighs in at ~22lbs.
Here's I think the link:

Actually you will have to click on the link in the window view just below what the above displays to then click on details and view the weight.
Thanks guys. I'm buying my parts from design911.co.uk which doesn't show the weight of the package.

I don't about Kiwi airline rules, but here there is a weight limit to what you can put in the overhead storage bin. I know i would know what 90 lbs to drop on my head if tebin popped open.
As far as taking them through security, that should not be an issue unless something has a very sharp edge, Rotors, pads and plugs should be fine
Exactly, those things seem to be too heavy to be sitting on the overhead bin.
Good to know as I've never had to change a rotor on my car so won't know how heavy they actually were.
I can see an uninformed TSA agent pulling you aside and asking for backup thinking you are trying to ship materials used to make an explosive device. Or better yet the brake discs can be used as weapons to overtake the flight crew. True it may be as effective as a spoon but common sense never stopped our airport security personnel.
In 2008, I was travelling from an airplane construction workshop, and was diverted to LaCrosse WI (3 gates! Count 'em - 3!) due to weather and had to spend the night. The next day we had to re-check our bag, which in addition to wrenches, drivers, etc., a corded electric drill.
While we were wandering around the terminal waiting for the flight, we saw a TSA agent come out of the TSA office with a printed-out image from the x-ray machine. Yup - was my drill and wrenches. Never said anything to me, but we had to chuckle that it threw them for a loop....
