earley231186 Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Does any one know of any were that I could hire the jig for drilling out manifold studs? I know you can buy them just under 400£ but it does seem a waste for a one use item. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobbie Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 @bally4563 may have one available for a small fee. Where are you based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s currently hired out present, It would be £60 to hire including, postage, with a minimum loan time, say a week, with return postage covered by yourself Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earley231186 Posted October 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2021 Not in a massive rush for it. Just when ever it's available, that sound very fair to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi I've got at least one bolt to drill out, possibly more and looking to rent a jig in August, if its possible. I'm based in Cheltenham, thanks JCG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinten Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 @TGI_J this is something to keep in mind if we're going to change those exhaust gaskets ourselves instead of spending £800 at the garage. @bally4563 I don't suppose you've got a few more details about this? Providing you'd be happy to rent it out to us too of course... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpeedyGee Posted July 14, 2022 Report Share Posted July 14, 2022 What does this Jig look like? I assume it's like a thick manifold plate, that you bolt on using the bolts holes that aren't blocked by broken studs and then drill the broken studs out? The plate ensuring you are dead centre on the stud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bally4563 Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Yes I will rent it out, look up Stromski manifold jig., but essentially a thick plate that accepts different size drill pilot bush,s comes complete with drills tap and user ins instructions . £100 includes delivery for the hire with return address details . Any damages such as broken drills/ tap must be replaced before return. Saying that if used correctly I would not except any!! I have used it for eight studs, and found that when you come to run the tap through you are just cleaning the threads. PM if you want to take up this offer. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinten Posted July 15, 2022 Report Share Posted July 15, 2022 Thanks, I've watched the video on the Stomski site and that's a really cool piece of kit. Fully understand the arrangement and we'll be in touch as we are in desperate need to replace the gaskets on my son's car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will keep this in mind @bally4563 - autumn / winter job on the 996 as my manifold fixings literally look like they’ve been on the titanic (but fitting with 173,000 miles now 😂).
