| -2- )) NAME. PART OFF TOOLS. REMARKS. Rear Floor 4. 1. 19. 7. 6. Do not agree with alteration, as this part never alters from 1st set of drawings. Price should be 1/6d each. Tool cost £7. 10. 0. Tunnel. Rear Seat 5. 5. 4. 15. 0. Agreed. Squab. Front Cross 2. 8. 20. 0. 0. Agreed. Member. Rear Light 4. 10. ---- We agree with this but should have been notified months ago with your first quote. Timber Frame. Bucket Seat. 16. 0. 145. 0. 0. Agreed but tool cost very excessive. 2nd Cross Member. 7. 0. 120. 0. 0. Agreed but tool cost very excessive. Front and Rear 13. 4. 374. 0. 0. Cannot agree this item. Your first quote namely., 9/1d plus £224 tool cost was in order. You should have notified us the extra cost of making this part in one piece. We would certainly not have agreed to this alteration. Therefore, we consider the first price of 9/1d plus £224. should stand even though you had to revert back to making this in two pieces. Cant Rail. Centre Pillar. £1. 7. 6. 397. 0. 0. Surely the diff: shape and slight additional work you mention should not make such a difference, namely.. 18/2 part off - approx: 200% plus £230 tool cost, again nearly 200%. Rear Pillar. 8. 4. 209. 0. 0. We cannot agree this. You have never notified us of any alteration what-ever and we can only reconcile your first cost of 3/5 and £71. 10. 0. Tool Cost.
