Check with Julian Voelcker at Overland Cruisers. He has a pretty sweet Aussie suspension that adjusts fairly well to different loads, but still provides lots of articulation. If I didn't already have the ironman kit, I'd have gone with that one.

How well did the template line up?
'Cos my template don't look like it will fit?

 

[LandCruiser1978]

Tapped the template on cut out the big hole first snorkel fitted perfectly ..
Then i set to drilling out the 6/7 holes for bolting to the wing .. this is where is struggled .
i ended up enlarging the holes . if i'd used a bigger drill bit first wouldv'e flown on . but i used the 6mm bit they advised ..
generally speaking all the template holes needed enlarging towards the top right but i just made the whole hole bigger.. The washers supplied are huge so you could put HUGE holes in the wing if you wanted

Once the bolts for the snorkel fitted through the holes i unbolted the wing and bolted the snorkel in to place with the wing removed ...
Couldn't figure out how to tighten the bolts up with the wing in place .. if i had arms like Eugene Tooms from the X-Files it
wouldn't be a problem..
