apart from tea and biscuits what would you charge or expect to pay ?

this job does involve a fair bit of work , the easiest way imo is to remove engine and box then re-fit and a right chew on with doing the pedals .

i'm not looking to drum up business as i'm far too busy .

so c'mon what would you charge , parts of the cuntry will differ i know .

£300? Not that I would do it for someone, but I reckon thats what it would be worth.

i would think that's cheap considering the work involved + with 27 year old bolts that don't want to play ball and the pedals are i right chew on like .

Just because some thing is cheap, doesn't mean it doesn't produce a proper job, in some some cases yes, but not always.

I guess it depends on ones hourly rate of course.

Probably a days work on a good day? Assuming you don't get no trouble. If I'm doing side jobs now days I want £50 per hour otherwise I can't be bothered. So I'd say £400 is about right.

yeah it's doable in a day with a ramp but on your own it'll take about 2 days , £400 is about where it should be but if i were paying i'd take it to Roger :D
