A shop should be able to make these for around $50 a pair, thats the strut mount and Engine mount with all holes and engine mount bent into shape. Zinc plating would be extra but if you get a bunch of other stuff plated at the same time it will all go by weight.
Hell, if i had the time id make them up myself now i have the template!
Sorry just a little fired up at the price some workshops are charging, and yes i have owned my own before so know about overheads and labor costs.
end of rant
Thanks for the insight. Price seemed abit crazy to begin with.
