How to do VENT-0004, pg 23iS/U-08

What the heck? Looks like steps 6-9 requires a #43 bit, a 4-40 tap, and an unknown countersink bit. None of which are in the tools required list for the 12iS.

Not really happy having to source those parts just to do the vent knobs.

How did you guys do this?
 
I picked one up at the local hardware store..Home Depot..Menards. It includes the drill bit and tap for about $6.
 
I also found the drill and tap kit at Lowe's - I used a hole de-burring tool to do the counter sink. Its just a countersink without the pilot.
 
Do you recall the size of the drill bit? I doubt Lowes carries anything marked #43. Or was it a combo for #4 screws?

Lowes does sell 4-40 taps with the proper #43 bit in a kit. My local store (very small town) has 7 in stock.

I also recommend you pick up one of the HF # drill kits for the occasional random size you might need.
