They are charging me around €3.5k
They gave me the figure once it was taken apart. I thought it was very reasonable and they are certified to do this work for DOE in Ireland.

Do you have a picture of how the rubber sat back in on that mount... 

I started just replacing the whole mounting to simplify things on repairs.

Looks like a thorough job! Quick question - step 4 - galvanising? What have they galvanised? Doing the chassis is a full body off strip down job...

Spray on Galvanizing is Just one step up from American powder coating when it comes to rust prevention in my book.
It also says some sort of wax wich is good and the combo is very good.

Real Galvanizing is dipping the complete part in heated acid and then heated zinc.
Wich in some cases will warp a car frame.

I got my trailer frame dip galvanized, wich went fine because I boxed it off to prevent the warping. And I was prepared it might get warped.

I was assuming he was referring to real galvanising TBH, I didn't know "spray on" galvanising was possible, but in this context that makes more sense.
