Ironman snorkel confusion

[Joe]

Hah . Bugger

I've got both Rocko if you want to borrow them

[helicoptercow]

if the ironman and safari are so alike and the ironman template is wrong... maybe we should start a safari template share??

The Ironman and Safari templates are the same from memory. I've seen them both and installed both.

[Kegsy]

No guarantee it would fit either.

I think the best option is to just excercise caution and test the template on the snorkel body before installation for BOTH makes of snorkel as errors have been reported from both models.

Just saw this :http://www.4wd1.com/ML-Triton.htm

Ironman snorkel: $297 delivered (Aust wide)...

Includes the overflow bottle...

Might get one for the v6

Looks the goods there Quinny... you gunna get one and install in this weekend and let me know how it goes? I like their template diagram in the installation manual... the hole is off the template

Bloody hell I hope not

I did order one - see how we go

You fit it on the passenger side, right

[fridgie]

Yeah mate, fits passenger side into the tub

[Homer]

That's a bargain for a Safari in a different box mate.

Grinz...hopefully my neighbor gets back to me with the goods asap then, Joe
My sheds starting to look a little depressing with Triton bits to fit. Will have snorkel, LR tank, side strips (once they ever get painted), reversing camera (which is bloody going on this weekend, as I'm sick of reversing into things), replacement turbo return hose, shiny door handle protectors...damn, and some other crap I forgot .
Think there's more bits off the car than on!

Hmm, you getting a LR tank? Offers still on to have a "use the hoist and have a BBQ" party

[RockoWallaby]

Hmm, just realized I'll probably have half a ton of cheap Taiwan accessories by the time I finish

Might sound a stupid question, but could the mould also be off? Who's ever tested the fact it's only the template, and not the mould itself?

[Mattstruck]

There are no stupid questions. Just a lot of stupid people

true... but i'm guessing its harder to stuff the mould then it is for a printer to scew the paper? who knows, maybe there an ever so slight difference in the panel or flare too?

Grinz...damn straight!

Well - The Ironman snorkel turned up this arvo...

I'm having a few beers & then will go have a crack at fitting it

Edit: Noticed the kit came with a stainless overflow bottle ...

Damn - just cracked a nice bottle of red to have with dinner. Hope I have a steady hand with the centre punch !

haha... might compensate for the template

noticed in the manual it had a stainless bottle, so good to hear it does actually come with it.

[helicoptercow]

so how'd the install go quinny?

[chick_magnet_0001]

waiting in anticipation for the first botched Triton snorkel thread Now thats a "Man Fail"

[fridgie]

Maybe the holesaw got stuck

Maybe too many vb's and he forgot about it?

Maybe he botched it and just can't face the forum again?

Quinny come back!!

Hope it all went well mate

[helicoptercow]

haha.. yea i think your on the money there fridgie, to many vb's followed by something going horribly wrong

[Quinny]

Yep - Fridgie got it ! - too many VB's... woosed out

Maybe next week

Did you see the overflow bottle I used in in the how to post pix thread ? Looks the goods...

[helicoptercow]

yea saw your overflow bottle pic, thats what makes that ironman buy look so tempting did you get to see how well your template lined up after the initial brew and wine or was that the end of your weekend quinny

[Quinny]

Had a quick look with the template. Looks like it will fit in easy - just have to be a bit careful around some wiring looms etc...
