    Ive been having some ideas of making a sort of sock filter that hangs down inside the air intake grill. Probably made out of vacuum cleaner bag fabric or something along those lines.
    Im also thinking about fabricating a filter holder to go over the return air vent in the passenger footwell. Just make it to fit a common size cabin filter that I can get from ryco.

    Cheers

    I was looking at the air ducting on mine the other day with the view of putting a filter inline.
    What I found is the ducting to the heater box intake doesn't line up and has a 10mm gap up one side.
    I'm going to investigate if a flat sheet of plastic can be inserted over the intake (it's similar to what a few of the logging trucks do).
    Cheers, Kyle

    Checked on the ones from devon 4*4 as per download the foam is 45ppi and appears to be all weather and the extra pollen 80ppi is not all weather

    I have checked with unifilter sock that fits over a snorkle ram 45ppi
    When ordering these snorkle socks they must be ordered DRY and not oiled (chemicals / smell inside vehicle )
    I was told to use either vit E oil / or baby oil approx tea spoon per use and wash with soapy water BUT make sure it really dry before applying oil

    I have got a snorkle ram off e bay so now to manufacture a base and pipe for ram to fit on mudguard

    I have seen a lot of photo's on here lately with one of these on the cabin air intake. I wonder if they have a filter? (I have even seen one on the drivers side )

    Out of curiosity, do the socks and foams that are rated in ppi generally need replacing, or can they be cleaned and re-used over and over?

    For example, the Devon 4x4 one... re-useable by cleaning?
