Here is a step by step photo guide to a snorkel installation onto my 1983 BJ60.
I thought I'd share incase anyone needed a reference upon installation.
This is what you'll need for the job:
• Roll of masking tape
• 95mm = 3 3/4" holesaw
• All the equipment that comes with your snorkel in the box
• Rivet gun
• Various sized drill bit (I cannot remember which ones I used)
• Drill
• Screwdriver
• Small file
• Touch up paint
• Here's the vehicle at the start
• Throw some tape on where you will be drilling
• Tape on the template which comes with your snorkel
• Now trace out the holes from the template using any marking device (pen/pencil)
• Drill your pilot holes
• Followed by drilling the actual holes
• Now take your 95mm = 3 3/4" holesaw and slowly cut out the marked circle on your fender, don't be scared, it'll be well worth it in the end
• Go all the way through!
• At this point, you've just cut a massive hole out of your front fender, you may go to the corner and have a whimper. Now if at this point you feel that you are in need of a man-hug, you're on you own, I cannot help you.
• Remove tape and clean up any burrs left behind from drilling using a small file, I found a nail file worked quite well.
• Paint bare metal to reduce any chance of rust
Now, to work on the Snorkel part:
• Insert the studs into the specified holes (4 in total)
• Dry fit the metal elbow from your kit, then on the inside of the elbow provide a seal of silicon and attach to the snorkel
