Dave,
No they don't supply a tap. I went out and brought one, however tapping
composite
can be difficult,(not strong) so make sure you Redux the ball joint as well.
Watch for the ball joint coming right through as it can contact the door
moulding
when closed and lift the door up to protrude above the fuselage at that corner.
Have a happy Xmas,
Cheers,
Tim
