That's one way of doing it, thanks for that Tom. There are a million silicone 90' elbows out there that could come off the air box to the stainless. I'd need a little flexible hose to get it up from the wing to up the windscreen pillar as I'd like it inside the cage then to give it some protection from trees.
The stainless looks far more professional but I fear it's a little vulnerable to damage on the wing like it will have to be. I suppose hard pipe or flexible soft pipe, both are still out there on the side waiting to be damaged and the same would be the case for a proper manufactured plastic one, albeit they might be more resilient.
My drivers side wing is already crumpled!
I'll have to make a decision somewhere along the line between looking professional and not looking too home made V less prone to damage with a bit of cost consideration involved.
I'm sure my fabricator mate could get me a length of 70mm stainless when he orders some steel up.

Don't know if this is any good?

That's quite nice mate. The less joins the less chance of leaks but I'll have to have flexi hose for the bend to move it inside the cage.
Did you make it yourself?

Nope I bought one. If you want instructions on this I am your man 
first find one on the Internet, fill in your details, then enter your magic card details (they are great you show it to shops etc and they give you stuff :ohmy:) then it will just appear at your home :ohmy: :ohmy: it's amazing :silly: hope this helps. Unfortunately you do still have to fit it........ :whistle:

My Jimnybits snorkel fitted within my KAP cage no problem, the O/S/F corner of the cage is the only part that does not sit tight to the pillar.
