A 500 hour inspection is just that an inspection.

Based on the m.m for the type, if they are slick mags there is around two hours each on the bench, plus any parts, if they have only run 500 hours they will only need cleaning and a drop of the special oil (according to the m.m which is hard to get hold off).
If they have run more time they often need a little more tlc and one in a while its cheaper to get a new mag if they need many parts, coils and things are quite expensive.
The harness is a separate issue and on condition, you can buy the complete kit two mags and harness etc.

A Bendix mag requires more work for the 500 hr/4 year. If the mags are old you may have to get exchange mags depending on the part no etc.

£800!
