Desperately Seeking Exhaust Manifold Bolt Drill Jig Hire

I have an early 3.4 996 that has totally corroded exhaust manifold bolts. There is a jig that has been developed so you can drill them out whilst the engine is still in the car. Does anyone know of where I could hire or borrow one of these jigs from?
I'm in Hampshire if that helps.
Many thanks
 
Hi worth posting on 911UK forum I am sure one of the guys on their was renting his out
 
There are mobile guys who do this work, but you'll need access to a ramp. If so, try Toulmin motors in Windsor for advice - they brought in a chap to drill all mine when I went SS on my exhaust and manifold - it was bout £250 from recollection.
 
Do you happen to remember how many studs they drilled out for that £250? If it was most of them then that's a great price, if it's only a minority then I'll still need to seek out a jig. Happily Pieman has given me the number of someone who has one, but if I can get them professionally done for a good price then that would be my preference.
 
that guy i gave the number of own a motorsport company. the jigs are on sale at porsche shop for around 360.00
i bought it just in case mine snapped but with a jig iwould have done it myself. Where are you maxthelion
