Fitting a snorkel

mmmmm denso tape (where are you able to still get it)

As for the dizzy just get a pair of womens washing up gloves and slide it over it (they last age's)

As for the snorkal through the guard is the best way and you can always use cheap silicone hose as the bends

Was your Shorty a Series 3? Wouldn't it block the intake for the heater?

Can anyone confirm if a Safari snorkel meant for a County would fit a Series 3? I've contacted ARB, but as yet have not recieved a reply.

The County one is fitted to the other side so it would not block the heater intake. I'm thinking you would just need to grind off the mirror support.

I've also asked Mantec to supply some photos of their latest snorkel to fit a Series. The photo on their website shows it fitted to a Defender!

You should plumb a small airline from the dizzi to the manifold and another from the air cleaner side of the carb. The dizzies dont like been totally sealed, for some reason they need some fresh air flowing.

Safari Snorkel System - SS525HF

As for the distributor, I'm going to wrap some denso tape around the seals to keep it watertight. Denso tape is awesome!!!

I didn't have that problem as my shorty was a series 2 with series 3 guards and the snorkel was for a 200tdi, looked great
