    Guessing as it matches the ones they sell.
    Why a grey area? If it was a direct copy then thats different.
    Was asking why mention Graeme Cooper?
    The grey area is due to the design being copied and mirrored..im not saying it wrong just grey..I bought 1 all the same, Just a thought that whoever is making them should put some thought into giving a small royalty to you for doing the mirror of LRAs snorkel and to LRA for coming up with the worlds best RRC snorkel design.

    From what i have heard now, this is one i had made years ago, think it could be one of the first ones as its a bit thinner in the glass than the later ones, from what i'm told. Could be the one i sent to LRA they they needed the next day for a job, that i sent to them, and never heard from again. 😕 Never got any royalty either.

    If you didn't get paid, call up and ask for payment if you were after payment

    Question or statement, ha?

    Someone is making them as I bought the one on ebay (above) which was secondhand and he is supplying a new one for a little extra.

    You can also get them from LRA, they also have a right mould, its just not advertised

    Now I'm confuzzled as all hell...

    Vern made the RH snorkel and mould, if I read correctly. It was a mirror of the LRA passenger side snorkel.

    Lockee now has Vern's Mould for the RH snorkel, but not a LH mould. ?

    Vern made a RH snorkel from his own mould, and "sent" it to Andrew, who never paid a cent for it - to which (if correct) Vern has the right to invoice him for it.


    Now, if Lockee has a mould..... or both moulds, can I borrow (for a small fee perhaps) so I can make a pair out of the carbon twill weave I have sitting here?

    Else, I guess I'll just have to fabricate something that looks slightly different so it doesn't interfere with anyone's pending lawsuit.

    Well i never new andrew was making them. Am guessing a mold was taken from the snorkel i sent him years ago (don't care about the money)

    How come i have never seen one? Would have thought they would use it on the storm?

    Well now i see what you are talking about with the grey area!
    The few times i have asked for advice or help from that man, it was going to cost a small fortune or he wouldn't help at all. Now i know what type of person he is.
    Ask him how he discovered the hydroboost!
    Sorry, now no longer a fan😠
