Replacing my 3" Safari snorkel with a 4" SS recessed snorkel and will also install a new airbox (w/K&N 9" pod filter).
Getting tools together to cut out 4" clearance hole thru inner guard and also the elongated hole req'd in the guard for placement of recessed snorkel. Might buy an air operated "Body (panel) Saw" to open out the entry holes.
Aluminium template is provided with the air box, that can be secured/bolted in place against inner guard and can be used as a guide to cut / enlarge the box entry hole. Yes could use hole saw set up but don't have suitable size. Need to also cut out a section of the radiator shroud/cowl as well.
Any one used a body saw for panel cutting and how do they finish off job?
Could buy a nibbler but thought the body saw may be a good tool option and produce less metal corrosive chips/swarf that could prove difficult to remove.
