haha. I will be using previous posts for reference but I will take a few pics.
delivery from jimys bits if anyones interested was very quick but it does still have navara printed on it not like the advert.
but before I fit thatI have to jet wash the engine to find the elusive oil leak and tighten a few loose things up.
only thing that concerns me is.
the top of the snokel has three bolt holes that fix to a bracket(supplied)
I don't yet know how im going to fix that to the door pillar?

half way there. I didn't realise was such a job:nenau
the template was useless so we had to guestimate it. with a bit of hole enlargement all the pins fitted:D
still had to take the wing off though and that meant messin about with half the bumper fixings too...
the snorkel is now on but not connected till tomoz as it took so long today.
Oh and a big hammer was needed too:lol
and for those with abs there is no other way but to put a few bends in the fittings but it should still get more air than the tiny original intake hole.

give this a bashing as theres not much room between inner and outer wing.
I was going to use flexi hose straight through but it would of been to contorted and twisted.

Dont fancy making another pillar bracket do you? Looks like you solved the issue with that could do with one on mine.

the bracket is just thin mild steel bashed about in a vice. easy enough to do.
If you cant make one yourself I will try and recreate one next time I get access to the workshop.

Welcome to the Navara Snorkel Crew ;)

I had to replace my wing at the same time as when I drilled my old one this happened due to the pressure and flex of the drill !!!!!! :O

I used Blue Samco hose off a Focus RS apparently to connect to snorkel and air box, no ABS to worry about :)

Voila :D
