    Hi Garry,

    Do you have any details/tips about sealing the OEM RAI?

    Is it as simple as pulling it apart and putting a sealer in the joins?

    Cheers David.

    Depending on the model vehicle the pipe to the air filter has to be sealed or replaced so it is waterproof. Depending on model, there is an open drain hole in the bottom of the air fliter that needs to be plugged (there is also a hole that has a rubber valve that lets water out but not in). The actual RAI needs to be sealed to the body where it goes in at the side of the front guard.

    Ritters do a 'kit' to turn a RAI into a Snorkle

    I just rang Ritters about this "kit" but they do not do them. What they do in their service section is what the rest of us do is put a piece of water proof pipe in (Clark Rubber) and use sealant to seal the rest.

    Yes they can convert an RAI to a snorkel but according to my call just then, they do not sell a "kit".
