  I can only suggest you consult one of the regular suppliers as to the price of the parts concerned. You can do this on line for at least some of them. Rimmer Bros will have most of the stuff, and there are others (Fitchetts for example).
  Not had a rebore done for some years, but at a VERY rough estimate, assuming you deliver them a completely stripped block, start at about £50. The price you are quoted though from a machine shop may depend on whether or not they supply the new pistons, as they will be able to get them trade and make some profit on selling them on to you. If you supply the pistons, you will have to let the machine shop have them so they can bore your cylinders to match.
  You should not need to replace wishbones unless the bolt holes have worn oval, and even then you can do weld repairs with thick washers. If they are knocking as you suggest, then replacing the bushes will solve the problem.
