Your work is very impressive.

My favorite machinist checked mine on his crank machine and did not charge me anything. If I had been a normal customer he probably would have charged twenty five. If he had had to balance them and not just check it would have been more but nothing near two hundred, I don't think.

Since my indie did the actual work, I don't know exactly what was done on the backup light wiring. I think it involved splicing wires.

Sorry you could not find anybody more reasonable.
