Cost for Fitting?

Cost for Fitting?
Hi all,
After today's meet in Brighton to which my car ran like a dream, I'm thinking of keeping it and changing the chains and tensioners for the ones that Berkshire Jag Components have for sale here, at a cost of £195 +vat.
My question is, how much is the fitting of these items likely to cost me?
Thanks
Mike

Hey Mike,
glad the meet went well today and you had a good time, the pics look great.
Not sure of your level of expertise or what you will / won't attempt, but.....
There's more than a few posts, detailed "how to" posts here on the forum about the procedure.
Is it perhaps something you'd consider attempting yourself, maybe with the help of another member close by, as a project?
Just a thought?

Be aware that that will not fix your problem!!
If you are looking to dump the car just do it now. All the tensioners are plastic and they will all fail. The chains also stretch and need to be replaced as well.
Also you need several special tools to do the repair. It's not easy but several guys have done it successfully and we have a member that is at 215K miles with his 4.0L engine.
