Default Nose dragger conversion cost

I'm repairing an RV-6 that took a hard landing and flipped. I've removed the mount to be repaired. What's the cost to switch to -A?

- Engine mount
- Aft main Weldments
- Nose gear

What? $3k? less maybe 1k for the tail wheel and mount I have?

If you can sell the old gear and mount, your cost would be minimal. I made the change - but had new but installed parts to sell. In the end, it cost me about $1200 if I remember correctly.
