Before pic



ready to get going
Part number for my Hilux Surf


Template





major scary part is cutting the big hole. all i can say is measure 10 times then cut



had to slightly modify the holes


A pillar holes easy to line up once snorkel is fitted


make sure and use lock Tite


Nice fit


A Pillar mount


All Done


After



Then sit back and relax

why say do not use HSS drill bits - thats what they are for - drilling holes in steel (sheet metal)

It's OK, he's talking about a Jeep not a Surf.

they wont drill correctly pulls the metal
also you would need to keep changing the bits for the larger sizes, a step bit you only need one.

hey stephen where did you get your safari snorkal from??an how much was it??iv been lookin for one for my 3rd gen for months an cant find one

[stephenmarr]

Devon 4x4
think i paid about €300 at the time bit steep but now having a company car and fuel card i save €€€ on diesel

[tonupteabag]

Devon 4x4 are very close to me in fact about six miles away in the next town....Hmmm I wonder!!!

if they are sharpened correctly and used at the right speed they wont pull the metal - i don't even own a step drill - never had a use for one. i use hole saws for bigger holes.

[stephenmarr]

maybe so but its still easier and handier with a step drill

[nasar1968]

[red barron]

Step drills give a much neater edge in softer materials.

So do tapered reamers.
