G'day cobber, check out the following link - it's not the only one on the net https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rov...snorkel.84503/

good luck

Thanks onebob, did read that one, shows the fitment to a d1 air box. Different position and a lot more room than the d2.

Hello wozapinin

A ball peen hammer does the job and a long socket extension. It's been a few years since I did mine. Doesn't exactly look pretty when done, but then it's put in to be practical.
One thing that I did do was get the stainless steel tube extended so that the intake was above the roofline and facing rearwards. This was to help reduce the amont of water getting to the airbox if driving in a downpour. It didn't solve the problem, but helped.

Cheers,

Jason
