Advice:  Specify a maximum number of hours/or updates.  Without some
maximums such a deal could keep you working even if you did not need any TR
parts that month..  Clarity is the best defence from dispute.

>plus any new/replacement parts at cost.

Advice:  specify some dollar amounts (maybe from the Victoria British
Catalog as a standard)   in your written aggrement.   That way everyone will
know what to exspect or what could happen.    It might save you some
disputes in the future.

>its more cost/value....

Maybe I don't understand, but, you will never get back the time or the money
that you spend on such a project in time or money returned.   It is a
investment in aggrevation, sweat and frustration.   You get enjoyment and
satisfaction.  Your money is gone.
