sunvisor/snorkel

[muddys1]

Hi all,
just wondering if anyone has a mantec snorkel and a metal sunvisor fitted to there defender ??? just wondering if the head of the mantec sorkel would hit the sunvisor or if there is plenty of room mainly in front of the pillar.


cheers

Metal sunvisors are for old people with kingswoods.

The snorkle usually sits outside of the A pilar so leaving room for the sun visor.

I dont actually think they look that bad...

I think mines a safari snorkel but clears anyway.. does that help in the slightest way?

Muddys,

I've got the Mantec jobbie fitted and there is still plenty of room for the bullbar to roofrack brush cables (if you are so inclined to drive with those fitted! ;))

It has been designed to sit much tighter to the body than the Safari, but it sits quite high and you should be able to go under. Have a look at the picture of it fitted and see if you agree that it would pass on the inside. (Previously loaded on the linked post)

The Mantec snorkel is rather flexible. Depending on how it is mounted (brackets on A-pillar or roll cage?) you simply make some spacers if it is sitting too close to your visor and, voilá, it works.

I'm old enough to qualify for the Sunvisor:(

Not only that, I would actually like a sunvisor.:)

Where would I be able to purchase one?

hyway sunvisors is the name of the company
just google it,lots of pics
i priced one about a year ago when i got my 110, just happened to be at an engineers place and they had the brochure, think the price through them was about $360 plus painting.
