The Lair

We'll be camping @EatSleepTacos

 

There's some chance of rain, so I'm not going to be running tube doors. Plus I just haven't had time to finish them yet. Thanks though!

Those holes are really clean in that last pic.

 

What snorkel did you go with?

 

He got the cheap hilux ebay one.

 

Yup. Looks and feels well made. I’ll
Install this evening when it cools down 20 degrees.

 

Thanks.

The key is drilling the “two” holes with the 3.5” holesaw to make a nice clean oval hole. You gotta drill a little on both holes and then clean out the oval with an abrasive wheel. I also needed to ovalize the 5/8” stud holes since the snorkel inserts into the large hole at an angle and the studs also go into the fender at an angle. I had a diamond coated abrasive wheel (meant for ceramic tile actually) handy which cleans up the holes quickly AND cleanly.

 

Definitely going to follow that method whenever I get a snorkel.

 

Sexiness!

 

Tip: when using a hole saw on sheet metal, you actually have to go at a relatively high speed to avoid catching/grabbing/ripping of the sheet metal. And make sure you have the clutch on your drill set correctly. Do NOT use the “locked” drill mode, because if the aggressive teeth of the hole saw does catch the sheet metal abruptly, then you’ll fuck up your wrist. The clutch will help save your wrists.

 

Good pro tip. That makes a lot of sense.

 

You drilling into your pillar or are you using velcro?

 

Velcro. Im gonna mooch a 3” strip from @fatfurious2 he bought a giant roll last year.

He'd just be UA, unauthorized absence. Just a hard slap on the wrist. I say go for it @08comatose!!!

Like a said, a really hard slap on the wrist. Better than jail time!
