Erich, this will be interesting to see when it's finished.

How are you going to route the Intercooler hose? Also are you going to place some protection under the air box that protrudes through the guard?

Look what Santa brought. I ordered this on late Tuesday night from Peter Bell, a week out from Christmas - only 5 days delivery.

My original intercooler has a mount broken off in the accident.

I have filled in the inner guard - will post some pics later.

As for the intercooler hose, this still fits OK, but I plan to replace this with a mandrel bent pipe and flexible ends at a later stage.

Erich, don't forget you need to cut off the tabs on the radiator that the original intercooler sits on.

We have our daughter and her husband from the N.T. staying with us for a couple of weeks and have been doing a lot of visiting etc. over Christmas.

I'm keen to get back to working on the Puma so hopefully can start again today or tomorrow.

Thanks for your interest.

Sounds like Santa's helpers from the north pole have not been very helpful!

Maybe not the North Pole....but Santa's two helpers from North Australia are being VERY helpful

I have been playing around with the air circuit between the snorkel and the aur filter box. I tried a number of different ideas, including a 4 inch line, which was just too large. I tried to buy some 3 inch just before Christmas but all which was available at the time was 3.5 inch which was difficult to adapt

The current plan is to use the hose joiner which will be screwed to the inside of the guard, wjth adapters on each end. This will be water tight. I will also replace the dump valve at the bottom of the air filter box

The hose joiner in the approximate position, yet to be welded and drilled. This will be a bit difficult to join to the hose.

I had to do a bit of machining in order to adapt the tube to the air filter box which is ouy of Alluminium. Also the only tube I had was some 3 inch stainless so another adapter was needed, ( out of a nylon type material)Both made out of off cuts.

I will also make and mount a plate to the inside of the guard for easy installation / removal of the snorkel - next job
