Once again cheer's for all you'r help and I owe you a couple of beers I will buy one of your heater intake plates after I've done the trip Cheers mate.

I'm not sure I can be of more help with the measurements you're after. I have a different setup on my County with the snorkel going through the guard. A couple of mates have the Isuzu with the snorkel going through the vent plate, but I can't remember exactly where they ran the fittings.
Looking at the distance from the guard to the inner wheel arch, there should be plenty of room to run the 75mm pipe and fit a hose to it, as long as you do the 90* bend.

Cheers, Murray

Not such a good idea to take air from the engine bay incase you have an exhaust leak.

No good if you have the vent feeding aircon, but I only use the ducting to keep the windscreen from fogging in the rain. My right side sliders are rusted stuck at HOT and WINDSCREEN.

I may try it and report back!
