How have you made your home made snorkel?

Kirky. You could fit a standard grp bigjimny style snorkel and just site it a few inches further forward on your drivers wing (you would also need to move your airbox forward in the engine bay to suit of course).

This would mean that the upright part of the snorkel would bolt to your cage instead of the windscreen pillar (if you get my drift).

I had been looking at Supergaz' one thinking this myself as the airbox probably wouldn't need moving with that as there must be a flexi pipe under the wing connecting them which I'd just need to shorten.

The only thing is if it's shaped to the wing and it's curves will it sit right further up? I don't want to buy one to find it won't fit like that & waste money.

Supergaz, how does yours connect to the airbox and looking at yours will it adapt easily to be moved a few inches forward on the wing?

Cheers

It would move forwards easily, just a big hole for the hose and bolts through the wing. Then a length of flexi to the airbox. I was just visiting Russ at Jimnybits and spotted how slim the snorkel is compared to others, so I was very happy to find it fitted as I was about to use a fat frog diy job.
