Nice job - I'm fitting mine next week as well as a bonnet air intake and vents...

hi vatchman looking good , i just found that box section in mine and need to cut it out .
but not got all my tools form work so i think i will drink more then hit it with a big hamer.
i brough home loads of tools and as yet have only used a 10 mm , 12 mm , and pozi screwy plus did not need to take of the bumper i just bent the forward tab
on the wing.
did you move the diognostics socket on the n/s or work around it ?.


ps cant get the pics of my phone onto the tuter and digi cam needs batterys and i got some pics of the safari ( ish ) top i made .
good work mate well done

Now dont think I'm picking holes or anything, but when you engine moves about, is the tubing going to knock against the wing? (Hard hat on and ready )

pick away charlie.yes ur right , you cant see it on the other side but i have cable tied some thick rubberised foam around the bend as it goes through the hole in the wing,its worked so far no vibrations or rattles.

I was thinking more about when the engine moves over against the torque, and the outside edge of the pipe hitting the underside of the wing. If you had a concertina type rubber joint instead of the (very nice) blue joint, it would isolate the pipe work from the engines movement.... Sorry to go on, but I'm such a worrier..

sorry mate my bad , mine is on the other side but just found a captive bolt two inch`s nearer the bulk head so i will move it anyway.
the hole i just cut in the wing is a long ovel but i think that after i cut out the box section i will still need to flatten the end of the bulkhead as i want the pipe as close to the a post as pos ( 10 mill ) if pos...
this is like being at work only if i fack up i pay ,,,,doh !!!!

ahha,i have a secret weapon,i used the original surf engine mounts tough as old boots,so when you rev up instead of the engine moving ,the whole truck moves, but i will take your point into account.ian did give me some very nice concertina hoses.so if they do hit ill swap them over.
