DIY Z3 fender vent install

[Jobe Zeebuh]

1. First cut the vent out like so.

2. Then heat the vent and bend it. Use leather gloves!

3. Cut the hole in your snorkel

4. Use 40 grit sand paper to prep pieces for the 2 part epoxy. Make sure vent fits almost perfect. This will make for easier finishing.


5. You can use a hot glue gun to tack peices then use plenty of 2 part epoxy. Let dry. Sand. Finish with bondo glazing putty for small cracks.


Finished and install pics coming soon!

I am trying to figure out a cool way to vent my chin fairing as well in the front. Maybe cut out a design in the front and line in with stainless mesh??? Hmmm.
