£75 a wheel, assuming a couple of hours per wheel labour thats £32.50 an hour. Not out of order for what engineering firms charge at all.

An automated welding machine might make it quicker, but that machine costs money... And tens of thousands of pounds worth of money at that. The price is reasonable if the product is good, but maybe you should look at the end of the other thread on the subject, up on the board... |
