750-850 a side depending on how bad it is. They have been sending me photos of progress and they have completely fabricated new inners and located the source of the problem which is a weld seem at the top of the turret where water gets in and sits between the inner and outer arch. They look like they wil be stronger than the originals.

They also found sill issues which is also being done.
