We're ignoring the p&p factor

My Avanti was built with new casings and every thing in it was new. I started keeping a note on costs but that didn't last long (too depressing) :o

I would point out, although slightly off topic, that out of all the parts i bought some didn't fit or the quality was that poor that i didn't them. A lesson learnt and SR was the main supplier of quality parts that i had little problem with.

In the costs are loctite, silicone and grease to be included ?

Id also factor in a lazer cnc check on casing inc mag housing and endplate as Indians have there own tolerances and off centre maching. I have found Italian casings that have bearing housings slightly off swell :-)

I work for less than the official low wage limit, just bare in mind it takes me several years to build anything.
