Snorkel Template for 80 or 450

[GarnerFJ40]

Anyone have one?

I picked up a "used" Amazon ARB knockoff (Chinese) snorkel (guy thought it might fit a 4 Runner) for $50 but it doesn't have the template or the hardware, so I'll be sourcing the new hardware. Which I've heard most people do anyway...

I didn't have one either. I made mine using some of the kids construction paper. When you get ready to do it I have a good hole saw you can use. I bought it to do my snorkel and that's all it was ever used for.

So you just traced the snorkel itself, laid it out on the quarter panel and A pillar, and then made your holes? I think I'll take you up on your hole saw offer!

@DeeRex installed a snorkel recently. I don't know if he used a template or not. @DeeRex did your snorkel come with a template?

Yes, Derek's had a template. I've got the correct hole saw as well (used it on Derek's truck) but don't have the template.

I don’t have the template or the right hole saw but I’m pretty good at guesstimating if you want my help. Haha

I sorta used the template. The template that came with the snorkel is BAD. I used one hole on the template and matched it to the snorkel. I then made all new holes on the template for the other holes. Did you get the A-pillar brace with the snorkel? You will need stainless rivets and new stainless bolts. The bolts provided rust pretty quickly.

@forrest5000 still have yours?

While my template was correct, the reports show that very few actually are.
You may want to consider brishing a dab of nail polish on each mount and then use that to make your own template. Would give you exact location of the bolt holes to use.
I read many people doing similar in order to account for bad templates.
