Overall, a LOT of work, people have to make profit on it as most companys are not charitys!! Pretty good value IMHO, as you are paying for the time, materials, R&D and jig, and warranty of the product. If you have the skills to knock one up to a high, safe standard yourself, then go for it, but for most people it is easier to let someone do it for you who has done it before
I recko could make one handy enough but at £800 wouldn't be really worth the hassle if ya work it out
strip/sandblast beam and arms £50
aroura rosejoints adjusters, spacers £250
paint/powder coat another £50
time to work measure and make jig about 3hours
fab work another 4 or 5
then stripping finishing and painting another 4 hours
And then ya have to have faith that itil all hold together
