Ally sump welding quote......

[Eternal]

Right seeing as all my welding gear is packed away atm i went looking for a quote to get my ally sump holes welded from where the front drive shaft went through. it involved welding up two 32mm holes.

"Hi Alex, sorry for taking so long in getting back to you. From the pictures and from your description the best way would be for me to cut to aluminium alloy plugs and to let them into the holes and to fully weld them both sides. I would estimate about a mornings work + welding consumables, you would be looking at a price of £220.00 for the job.
If you would like to have the sump welded I am at home in the mornings most days and around to lunch times during the week. After lunch time I am usually on site at various places and not available. Or you may visit next weekend if you wish. As far as welding the sump time wise I would have it completed within a day or two. Just let us know what time and day.
Many thanks"

Just seems to me that £220 is quite steep what do you lot think? I can get a 2nd hand steel sump for £20 delivered but i like how the ally sump bolts to the gearbox to give extra strength.
