Hi,
I charge a measly £60 for the gearbox casing. ;-) That is based on the machining hours at around £8/hr. I'm undercutting the Chinese! LOL
What that does not take into account is the amount of work that goes into the design of the jigs and fixtures to hold the darn things. Knuckes could be tricky and may need to be machined from all six sides to end up with something that looks the part.
Having been messed about by people in the past, I have resolved not to undertake one-offs without an up front payment that covers the design cost.
I would be happy to look at it and tell you if I can do it but I'm curently up to my neck with Dino and other things. Christmas isn't helping either!!
