    Snorkel Vibration Isolation

    Okay.

    Ive had the fixing tab on the steel snorkel fixed and hope to fit it up tonight

    What are your thoughts on fitting rubber washers behind the 2 tabs ( between fixing tabs and A pillar )where they fix to the A pillar and beneath a fixing plate that covers the old air intake hole completely and uses the same screw holes.

    Given the vibration issues with the 3.9 should I worry about vibration or just fix it hard to the wing and A Pillar.

    BTW , I've only had the car since July 09 and only just found the time to clean it up and do a few little jobs.

    I did promise to post pics back in July but you know

    If I'm posting pics is it best here under the Isuzu Forum or somewhere else?

    I've never had any issues with mine other than popping the odd rivet out of the rear bulkhead. If you keep the idle up around 900 rpm it shouldn't be as bad. My snorkel is well supported though.

    On my previous 110 Isuzu I had a snorkel. The snorkel was originally fixed to the windscreen frame with a couple of fairly large single screws. They kept falling out on corrugated roads especially. I ended up welding on a piece of angle that sat on the front AND side of the windscreen frame. It was attached by about 3 or 4 rivets on each plane of the angle. It never came off again. I hope this makes sense.

    in set the idle to a bit above factory on a coldish day, but thats no good when it hot and the aircon is on, so when its hot like now i up it again but only with the cable. i feal there is about 200 rpm difrence between hot and cold idleing but will know more once the tacho turns up. i am redoing my dash, honda civic heater controls a boster fan and my own pluming, thats on the cab side using Vents with there own on off toggel . under the bonett i will make up a new box, using dunnydoor core and a mitzy fan. the boxs will be made from fiberglass. the heater core will have a hot water shut off. it will all be electric using supercheep actulators, quite simple realy
    and hopefully it will drain a bit less off the crank

    Interested to see that a/c heater under bonnet set up when you've finished.

    I was thinking of doing a similar thing with a better fan and a better a/c coil.

    Sorry , I forgot to look . Is yours turbo'd ?

    no turbo yet. the AC coil is not to much of a problem. its more the constant heat from the heater core, flaps not working or not working well and poor airflow cou[pled with a fan, well the fan is ok the fan houseing is a bit oversized.
