Hi Mark; Happy new year.
I recently fitted one to my 300Tdi 90.
Full fitting instructions with clear diagrams came included, along with a
template. All I had to do was check all the factory fitted intake system was
okay and in good order. Dry fit the seals and template, measure and mark,
then bite the bullet and drill the wing. A small amount of adjustment to get
the upright to the 'A' post for securing and Bob's your uncle. A second pair
of hands will help to hold the unit while you mark the wing and 'A' pillar.
I am no mechanical whiz I can assure you, but I found this job was not
difficult at all.
A word of advice, the intake at the top of the upright is only held with a
jubilee clip around the moulded plastic components, too easy to steal in my
book, so for a little more security I drilled and secured mine with a couple
of 1" self tappers. Do this symmetrically then if you are in very dusty
conditions you simply unscrew it and turn it around.
