Anytime. I popped in for 5 minutes to say hello, and next thing we're right into snorkel mounting haha. I was more so just holding stuff while Johno was doing his welding magic...Quote:

Mudski i have some 4 inch tube left over.. i am not sure its quite enough to do the whole job but it would be close.
Now to figure out this clunk... i will get mags to drive the car backwards and forwards while i try and listen for where it is coming from.
You can do it without the tooling by just using a bolt and nut as per link below.
Painfully slow but if only doing a couple then it works without spending excessive coin on a pneumatic nutsert tool.

There is no way to insert one on the piller like that.. I know of that method but I would rather buy a hand tool to do the job.
And from driving around with no snorkel at all the other day the turbo noise would drive me mad let alone having it right at my window.... I dont know how you guys with the snorkel with no ram head on can stand it???
Yes you can, I used that to do mine as we didn't have the tooling back then.Quote:

Whats people's opinions on this.
I reckon if it isn't too expensive or too much hassle, get it done. everything else on Bruce is black in terms of bar work etc... So might as well keep that color trend going.
How about hot pink?? That would definitely suit you Jonno:)Quote:

I will leave it for a while and see ... its easy to powder coat it later but a pain to get rid of it if i dont l like it.Quote:
