Intercooler Install Trimming Front Bar

[boostn0199]

what should I use to trim my front bar with?

[heslo]

Get a dremel with the assorted attachments, such a handy little tool and only relatively cheap. That's what I used to do mine

I used a 4inch grinder with a 10mm thick grinding disc.

crude, but all i had.

I used the same tool. It was all I had at the time also.

If you're going to buy a grinder, I suggest you get a disc that is thinner than 10mm as this will make it easier for you to cut through your bar.

Just make sure you mark up the guidelines PROPERLY as you don't want to cut too much off.

angle grinder with cutting disc works a treat

Yeah what he said ^

Get like a 2mm cutting disc on a 4" grinder, thats all you need.

Take your time if you want it nice!!!!

I used a grinder till it shit itself.

There was only a little bit left so I used a hand saw.

Can't tell from the front.

i just used a handsaw, the ones made for cutting metal... worked a treat.

i can also vouch for the dremel, i used that to cut through the fire wall, made it so much easier to get to, but it went through alot of cutting disc's.

For the reinforcement/metal bar. i used an angle grinder.

For the plastic bar, i used a hack-saw, and when the saw couldn't make the bend, removed the blade and held it with a tea-towel to continue, especially on any curves. Sanded the edges afterwards to clean it up.

Use some rust proofing paint on the metal edges when done too.

I used a grinder and then the dremel for the finishing touches. Such a worth while investment for $30 at Jaycar!

Took it to the panel beater cause my grinder was shithouse. One carton later it's cut very neatly and painted
