Not really, with a good drill and a well cutting hole saw, it took only about a couple minutes per hole. Don't forget to use cutting oil when doing something like this, or else it will start to feel like hard work! ;)

We have been considering adding drain holes in our next batch of skid plates as more people do seem to want them than not...

The bolts we don't find to difficult... a little fiddly yes if you have huge hands, but we put the bolt in the other may to how you have them, then you can just drop the nut inside the bracket and position it with the tip of your finger easily enough... then a 13mm spanner in ther to secure it whilst you tighten it up from below...

I think it's better this way, so everyone can drill their own holes wherever and what size they like. :)

I don't know how you can call the task easy! And I don't even have particularly big hands. I think it takes a gynecologist to succeed in getting those bolts in face up! :laugh:
