Erich, this will be interesting to see when it's finished.
How are you going to route the Intercooler hose? Also are you going to place some protection under the air box that protrudes through the guard?

Look what Santa brought. I ordered this on late Tuesday night from Peter Bell, a week out from Christmas - only 5 days delivery.

My original intercooler has a mount broken off in the accident.

As for the intercooler hose, this still fits OK, but I plan to replace this with a mandrel bent pipe and flexible ends at a later stage.

Erich, don't forget you need to cut off the tabs on the radiator that the original intercooler sits on.
Hi Erich, any updates mate?

Thanks for your interest.

Sounds like Santa's helpers from the north pole have not been very helpful! ;)Quote:

The current plan is to use the hose joiner which will be screwed to the inside of the guard, wjth adapters on each end. This will be water tight. I will also replace the dump valve at the bottom of the air filter box

The hose joiner in the approximate position, yet to be welded and drilled. This will be a bit difficult to join to the hose.

I had to do a bit of machining in order to adapt the tube to the air filter box which is ouy of Alluminium. Also the only tube I had was some 3 inch stainless so another adapter was needed, ( out of a nylon type material)Both made out of off cuts.

I will also make and mount a plate to the inside of the guard for easy installation / removal of the snorkel - next job
