Depends on how good you are, what your skill level is, how picky you are, what tools you have.. etc etc...

I JUST saw an add today too for $75 P+P'd TB (Exchange)... Can't remember where tho.

There is a guy on here ( WS6nJAX ) that does them for $50 and is on ebay. You send him your TB and he sends you one already done. 100% feedback on over 500 sold. If you want to get it faster send him 100 and once you send him your old one back he will refund you 50. If you like I can pm you the link to his ebay sale, just pm me if you want it.

When I wanted a P&P TB I bought one local from a buddy. Took off my stocker and P&P that one to "teach myself" how to do it. Took the one I bought back off and put the one I did on and wow, what a difference.


Do it yourself. Did my first one on my T/A, did 3 more for friends after that. Just take your time and stop once in a while to see your progress.
