    You may struggle ,if template is not right, there are a few problems with the cheap snorkels.
    not many shops will fit them, so good luck. Maybe a member close by who's fitted one
    may be able to help

    Use the Template but check everything before you cut. It is likely that the template may be slightly out so Measure twice. Set the Template up on the panel and then test fit the snorkel, it should be fairly obvious if they are not in line.

    Be smart and it wont be that hard.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I recently put one of those on my mates Disco.

    Template didnt line up the best for us. The inside part that connected to the filter didn't fit very snug on the Disco so double check that side of things. We had to silicone it shut as there were 2mm gaps and uneven moulding.

    Take some photos for us if can so we can check it out.

    X2, nothing like the fit of a safari or genuine snorkel. But still does the same job.. As he said, You get what you pay for...
