Thread: Fitting a snorkel

Most important thing, what air cleaner are you running and where is it located?

I just cut a hole in the guard for mine, then went to an exhaust shop and got them to bend up some 3" pipe. Also bought a 3" mandrel right angle bend from them. Bought some 3" hose and a ram-top from a truck place.

If you really want to fit a snorkel then you will need to make sure all the intake is up to scratch on these old girls, no point putting a snorkel on if it sucks air from every were down the line on the air filter.

I will be doing the same very soon so keen see how you go .pics pics pics.

cheers

Not the best pic, but you can just see that I have welded 2 tabs on - one that attaches to the windscreen mount, and one to the winscreeen frame itself (using 2 tek screws).

However - I have a hilux air cleaner fitted where the SIII heater goes.

To test that all the pipework is sealed (once fitted) - you just block off the top of the snorkel while the engine is idling, to make sure it stalls.

Hey mate, ya back wheel's bent, Regards Frank.

I fitted a safari snorkel off a 200tdi defender to my old shorty but if you have a holden motor I would be more concerned about the location of the distributer with water crossings

Are you saying that a safari snorkel will fit a Series III? Wouldn't a left hand side one foul the heater fan intake on a Series III? This one perhaps:

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!!!
