    Ideas to finish off snorkel

    well, who has a few ideas?
    snorkel is 80mm al tube, welded to some bling guard checkerplate...

    dont like the plastic top idea

    option 1 is a top hat with intake around the circumference a-la mantec

    option 2 is to plate off the pipe parrallel with the roof and then make the intake at the rear of the pipe to stop rainwater ingress (it rains a bit in cairns)

    option 3 is to fab up a front scoop

    option 4 is to bend the pipe backwards up onto the roof (difficult in structural 80mm Al)

    option 5 is...

    what are your ideas?

    Option 4 looks best, but atleast make the pipe parrallel to the windscreen before you cut that gaurd.

    the tube isnt welded yet, will be parrallel to windscreen, just didnt want to lean that way for the photo. I like option 4 but pretty sure bending the pipe will crush it pretty badly?

    So bend it towards the middle of the cab and then put on a swirl bowl????

    A donaldson wouldnt fit into the inexpensive category I like.
    The gaurds were a gift payment for building a mates roof rack, overhauling a winch and fitting it and fixing a trailer... The tube is off cut, the ducting to sir box will be care of the old disco... total cost some mig wire, gas, time and a few rivets???

    Try a truck wreckers for a Jappa air filter unit. The Daihatsu Delta Diesel has just such a set up. I'll be using one on the diesel conversion in my S3.
