I was given a Ragusa air scoop that I'm going to mount into the grill, drivers side high.
It looks pretty self explanatory, but I'm the measure twice, cut once type. Anyone with pictures of the completed job? Advice on where to tap for bolts?
Correct placement? Other things to be aware of?
Thinks, Scott

Scott,

I have one mounted in Double Trouble's grill; bring your grill and the scoop when we get together for the BBQ at John's home and we
can mount it.

Thanks Rob,
But I'm going to tackle it this Sunday before the Rusk rally.
I guess my main question is on the rear off set exhaust port. Would it point towards port or starboard?

Scott,

I'm sorry I can't remember what it looks like so I can't give you a good answer. if you send me a photo I probably will be able to
do so.

I do remember it was a PITA to drill the holes to get it mounted which is why I suggested you bring it down to the BBQ.

Get the right air hose. Then mount scoop accordingly

I have a 75 palm beach, and my front body mount gets in the way of a snorkel to the grill. I have seen other gmc's with different body mounts that make that simpler.

what may work for one coach, might be wrong for the next. I also have my air compressor right near there too and some gmc's have compressor in Back.

Air scoop is installed.. once again, it was pretty self explanatory. Mount with the printing on top.
Now I need to get out and use it!!
