Great idea, I assume that tube is there for reinforcement

I couldn't bring myself to cut a sizeable hole in a body member though.

Ta.

Mine is mandrel bent at lower end, however it was difficult to provide exact dimensions to get top bend for Safari top in exact location so that will likely be cut & welded to fit.

I did give that some thought for all but a few seconds: Too many potential leak points - not to mention possibly weakening a frame member
dont think that would go down well with insurance.

Well lots of progress made this weekend although not quite finished.
One major snag that I had not forseen was joint between silicone bend & bottom of stainless snorkel pushing measurements out by about 15mm,
resulting in guard not aligning with front door skin ( ie stepped out ),
So some reworking of stainless with plenty of heat & hammer required.
Now it looks as though it may finally work, fit & look right.
Also cut slots in windscreen trim to allow for locating tabs, just need to have those welded to snorkel & have top section cut & welded to take snorkel head. will post up some more pics soon.
Nearing the end now hopefully can get these done in next few days.
Then last job will be to take to my painter to be colour matched to body.

Almost there.
Everything is ready to go now for final assembly, I will hold off on painting for now just in case I like the stainless look.
Here are a few more pics of the finished components now.
Hope to get time to put it all together in next few days.

Looking like a happening thing. Looking forward to splashdown!
