ok, im ordering my new snorkel kit soon. any suggestions? i was leaning towards the safari kit.
how difficult is the install? tools needed?

thanks guys

 

One of the tools that you will need is a saws-all.
You have to cut a hole in your fender.

 

A jig saw would make less of a gash in your fender.

 

check out discovery2.co.uk there's a good write up of the hole thing there

 

I love my safari good choice. Make sure you use a lot of silicon to seal up where the snorkel connects to the filter box.

 

i will have my photo-handy buddy take pics while we do it and i will send them to discomike for the forum.

 

Discoweb.org has a write up on how to do it in their tech section.

 

I would not use a jigsaw, it would be far to rough, use a dremmel type multi tool with small cutting discs. Much more controllable and less violent. A hole saw will work to, as long as you get one of the right size, again depends also on which snorkel you buy. A hole saw for example would be useless for a mantec snorkel like mine.

 

ITS VERY SIMPLE...

You dont cut just one time...
When you are working with something that you only have once chance at getting right..

SNEAK UP ON IT!!!


Use Blue Tape on the fender, then mark out what the hole needs to be
Start with a hole saw smaller than the hole you intend to make
Then use an pneumatic recip saw, dremel or a jigsaw, to sneak up on the actual hole size.
Use the correct blade, some blades are more aggressive than others, some cut on the upstroke, some on the downstroke.

Finally have a good sharp file if you need to fine tune it..
