Ordered a GAP BT tool for Christmas.
Have the Nanacom as it covers both our D2 and D4 but the D2 is not long for our ownership so moving on.

Snorkel fitted.
3 hours my arse. I was going strong and left drilling the A pillar until last. Must say that an air saw made quick work on clearing out the sheet metal to the air box. My new favourite air tool I think. 3 hours up to this point so feeling comfortable. Then….
Drilling the A pillar:
Impact cobalt drills - didn’t touch the metal.
Normal HSS drills - as if.
3+ Additional hours and still no hole.
Headed to a specialist supplier for a solid carbide bit. Nil stock.
Got a call from my neighbour, a fitter and turner by trade. He had a go to no avail at first, then the post man (person) turned up with a facebook purchase of these (or similar) from an impulse buy last month:
Attachment 182608
Was a cheap purchase so he thought he would have a go. 3mm drill at high speed and let it rip.
Worked a treat. Still took a while to drill 4 out of 5 holes (last one walked during first attempts). Punched the hole with the 3mm bit, edged up to size with the 5mm (they have a tendency to snap) and then finished with the cobalt 5 mm. They are meant for tiles, go figure.
End result, happy camper on the snorkel.

Followed by running 6AWG from the engine bay to a fuse block in the drivers rear quarter panel pending a dual battery install. Not a bad 2 days.
I ordered from Island 4x4 in UK. Was best price I found. They've confirmed the order and hopefully have stock.Quote:

From experience, if their website says they have it they do indeed have it in stock (or are able to lay hands on it within 24hours of your order).Quote:
