I am anylizing the time and materials to make them, one of the big pieces is a stock dipstick to get the cable from, the cost me like $20 new, apart from that I am thinking like $60 shipped and deciding weater to charge a $20 core charge for return of the stock dipstick and/or $80 without sending back your old dipstick.
