Wrong snorkel template?

Nope. Just kidding.
I just had more trouble in the last 6 months with my gearbox than others in their lifetime. This week I will fit my gearbox 4th time...after a full reconditioning of the gearbox the input shaft oil seal was leaking. I have replaced all seals every time then refilled the box before went for a test drive. This time I changed the bell housing and input shaft also because I suspect the old one worn or might be damaged somehow? Regardless I'm prepared to take it apart again but with less effort than previously. At least refill will be easier...hence this 50mm hole. Rubber grommet is on the way!
TrailMaster 2" lift kit
Full floating rear axle conversion, JB underbody guards & recovery points
ORE transfer box HD brackets
T-Max split charge system
X-Shock Dakar ceramic clutch kit & roof rack
Flo-Flex castor polybushes
Kumho KL71 tyres
AVM manual hubs
ORA radius arm guards
Push-fit breathers

Ahh, that's my dream modification! :woohoo: I wish someone near by could do it for me properly! :blink:
I guess you will need to separate the body from chassis to make a decent weld around the mating plates?

Make the flange faces so that they fit over the remaining stub on the body side, so a full 360 weld can be done on the internal faces and then grind flat to make the flange face..... That with an external weld to as much of the butt as you can get reach, will be bombproof.....

Hmmm, interesting!
Perhaps you could sketch up a template with reference measurements for others to get the hole in the right place?
