First Job is to remove the base of the existing air cleaner box
Remove inner Guard. It would be a lot easer to remove the wheel
There is a bolt on the existing inner guard extension remove this and discard this piece as it is no longer required
Tape up the guard to protect the paint work as there is plenty of drilling and cutting going on in this area
Next place the stencil on the guard mark the outline and centre punch the holes so the pilot holes you drill don't wonder
Once I drilled the pilot holes 2mm I used a stepped drill to drill out the holes , this is the point of no return
Unlike previous model snorkel install where you use a hole saw for the main entry into the guard, with this model it is a rather large rectangular hole, This is where you hope you transferred all the correct positions properly. I used a panel nibbler to do this which was really fast.
I cleaned the opening with a file and demurred the edges coated the edge to prevent any rust. I then used some thread lock and installed the studs to the snorkel so it can be test fitted to establish the exact position of the top bracket.
Once it was test fitted and marked Taped the upper bracket and drilled the holes
Nutserts installed
Bracket mounted to pillar (Once again holes demurred and rust inhibiter applied along with a seal under the bracket)
Removed masking tape and fitted the snorkel, nylon nuts are supplied. Install the new inner tube, reinstall the bottom of the airbox clip up the inner guard, Job done
