I cut two holes in my bonnet for two GU scoops on my troopy.
not hard but you need to hold cutting tool tight or it will dance across the bonnet

Andy, if you want to take a quick look at my TB45E turbo thread in DIY, you'll see the Navara style scoop I put in my bonnet.
I cut it with tinsnips to avoid the sparks spraying everything and painted it myself with rattle cans. I've since abandoned that project and have just bought an import TD42T. I'll be using the IC and cradle I made for the TB because it fits exactly under my scoop.

Thanks John,
Whats the link to your build thread, I would be keen to see what you did.
I did do a search on threads but after about 10 minutes of searching and going through a lot of posts I kinda gave up.

Been thinking about this bonnet recess and scoop issue, i may try to modify the rear mounting bracket on the intercooler just enough to move the intercooler over just far enough to fit the scoop next to the bonnet recess..
That'l make life easier... if there is room....
If i can get it over to the right by about 60mm / 80mm i recon i could be onto a solution.
I will have a look into it...

I have an air hacksaw if you have a compressor. No sparks. Clean cut. Easily controlled. Cut my snorkle hole and easily follow a line or shave 2mm off at a time.

I had a quick measure up last night and i think this will work, i can mod the rear bracket to move the intercooler over by about 80mm so that should be just enough to get away with a small 10mm offset but by the time the rubber sock sits around the cooler hole it wont even notice.
Thanks Dale, that would be awesome but unfortunately i don't own a compressor anymore..

I am bloody loving this thread mate,
Makes me want to go nuts in a garage and build something.
without these threads it would end up just a pile of stripped parts on the floor, but with threads like yours and others I am now confident in carrying out some modifications.
keep up the great work mate.
