Thread: Snorkels

You are a gentleman and a scholar!

Although smaller then I would have liked, according to Dervish's calculations it should still be good enough.

I still have that 4" head I could use and put a silicon reducer on. I'll see how I go, thanks again Francis and Dervish.

What have people done to seal up their air cleaners?

Run a bead of silicon around one surface, let it dry then screw the lid down?

Or an adhesive gasket?

Any other thoughts?

It would have to be a fairly thick, but soft gasket/seal around the inside of the lid to seal it up properly I reckon. Based on the lid on my airbox which leaves quite a substantial gap.

might be worth a visit to Clark Rubber.

I was thinking the opposite, maybe a very thin one as you don't want to strip the thread on the rod trying to make the seal.

Although my air cleaner only has a very small gap where the weld is for the join.

Probably varies from box to box. mine is way out of square so to seal it up without stripping the thread, you'd need a fairly thick, but squishy seal.

I am in the process of fitting an APT high snorkel to my RFSV and wanted to know if anyone had some images they could post of the way the Perentie RFSV high snorkel mounts to the window hinge. My RFSV only came with the short snorkel and I want to fabricate the brackets or even purchase them if it is possible so that I can fit my new APT high snorkel using the window hinge mount. Any help with this project would be much appreciated.
Regards Warrick.

Hi warrick,

Here is my setup, which would appear to be standard.

The brackets are welded to the tube.

Thanks heaps Wal for the images. I really appreciate the effort. Did you fabricate the snorkel or is it an APT snorkel that you welded the brackets onto? Can you take a wider shot that shows the complete snorkel?

Regards Warrick.
