80-85 MM hole saw?? (1 Viewer)

[lt1fire]

anyone in charlotte have a hole saw in the 80-85 mm range.

Had a snorkel bought for me for my birthday that I just found out about when Fed Ex sent me a delivery confirmation.

I've seen the template and I know that is the size it asks for.

WTH is that in non metric s***.

~3.125-3.25.

 

[krzyabncanuck]

Thanks man. Got 2.5 here.

 

[lt1fire]

Yeah its a strange size. I'm sure the only people that have that size are the ones that have done a snokel install.


Harbor freight is calling my name.

At that size can you jigsaw it or is the fender too flimsy for that?

I have a 3" and a 3-1/2".

Drilling sheet metal with a hole-saw has always been a hair raising experience for me. As soon as the pilot hole starts to wobble, the fun begins. Now I drill a hole in a scrap piece of wood with the hole-saw and then place that scrap block over the desired hole. This might not work on a curved fender.

Not going to use a jig saw on that. I just don't trust myself enough for something that is easy with the hole saw.

Just looked and couldn't find it. Sorry

 

[angerhater]

I found mine...

 

[lt1fire]

Thanks Shaun...... If I'm ur way at some point in the next week I'll grab it off of you.

 

[lt1fire]

Oh and I have that handle you need

Just arrived via Fed Ex.

Its an ebay one but it was a gift and free to me so i'm excited about it.

To address the issue of the cheaper composite being used i'll take a que fro 98snakeeater and line it.

I had heard the ebay snorkel heads were bigger but this one seems ridiculously large compared to the last 80 snorkel head I had.

Might have to put a warning for small children to keep back or get sucked in.


Going to get it installed next week after camping unless I can convince Brian to help me put it on in the campsite


I'll start a new thread with install pics next week

Slight but not enough to warrant me to heat up a bar and roll an indent in.

If it starts to bug me i'll take it back off and put the indent in.
