Thread: Snorkel for the new Defender

Until Safari develop a new model a Safari snorkel can be made to fit (the 300Tdi version I think).

Opposite Lock in Rockdale Sydney have done a few including Xavie's former Fender (now Tolinja's).

Regardless of make the big issue seems to be making sure that the entire assembly is sealed to prevent water ingress.

I contacted Rovacraft and they can supply a Mantec snorkel for the new fender, cost is $700.00 incl. GST.

It's probably worth ordering one directly from the UK. Best price I could work out was closer to $500 including delivery. This is for the "new plastic jobby" which I quite like the look of - but I second the need to properly seal it when you install it.

I bought a Mantac "New Plastic Jobbie" from a company in Perth, and it was around $550 delivered to Adelaide. If you can't find a suppler let me know and I'll go looking for the invoice to help you out.

Thanks,
the supplier's name would be appreciated, apparently the factory fitted snorkel is $1140.00 which I consider is highway robbery. I am expecting the lease quote on Monday, I have requested the 134L fuel tank, winch bar, lightforce 240 blitz spotties and an alloy tray. Other accessories like dual batteries, overhead console, UHF CB radio etc I will purchase and fit myself. Also planning to fit a detroit locker in the rear.

Why are you going to fit a locker when it has TC? take that back it's a 130... my mistake

I can 't find the invoice, but I did find some very high quality stubbie coolers that they sent with the snorkel (included in the price!) with their details.

Try - RovaCraft (08) 9377 0080.

They were excellent. It arrived in about 3 days so I was pretty happy with that.

Cheers

That's interesting as Rovacraft's quote to me was $700.00. When it's time to purchase one I'll use your quote as a lever for a better price.

Thanks
