Hello,

The information that you requested is in the diagrams down below. Please remember that to get the total price for the labor you take the total hours of labor and times that by whatever the shop rate is around where you live at in the US. For example I live in California and the average shop labor rate near where I live is $125.00/hr. If the job I was doing called for 20 hours. labor my total labor cost would be 125 X 20 = $2,500.00.

Thanks,
Alex

Hello again,

I'm so sorry. I had a couple of responses that the diagrams didn't go out on. Here they are. Again, sorry.

Thanks,
Alex
