Default Anybody have a 9/16 Rotabroach?

I need to tap the pan on my car and the vortech kit says the 9/16 Rotabroach (comes with the GTrim) will keep the shavings out. Does anybody have one they would be willing to part with for cheap?

They don't hold the shavings any better, but they do drill a perfectly round hole. I do have it though. Some pple just use drill bits and put grease on the bit, but you will still end up with some shavings in there just usually will get caught by the pick up screen or filter of just sit there lol!

I used a smaller drill bit to drill a pilot hole then a regular 9/16ths bit with grease and it turned out just fine.

Couldn't you just use a drill bit and grease then clean it up real good?

I will if I have too, but if someone has one that would make me feel more comfortable drilling with the pan on the car. not much room for error here.
