It looks ok however I would be a bit concerned that it doesn't come with the necessary stuff to attach the snorkel to the air box.

I have www.jimnybits.co.uk/shop/jimny/jimny-snorkel/prod_24.html which is a little more expensive however it comes with everything you need to attach it to the car & air box.

I had the same thoughts about them too. They're the same as the polish ones on ebay. He either sells to them or vice versa. In one of the pictures its clearly a left hooker so i suspect they're made in Poland. I was tempted to get one of them but i don't like the fit. I'll be getting a jimnybits one as i'm running the rooflight wiring down the back so i'd prefer it to finish much higher than the ebay ones.
There was a thread on difflock where someone had bought an ebay one and it didn't come with the template to drill the holes. He emailed and requested one but afaik he got not response/help. Admittedly not a major headache but it would of course make life easier.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

I've got one of those shorty snorkels. (Not the polish/Ebay ones)
They are ok but quite brittle, be careful tightening the clamps up as they'll crack if you over tighten them and they won't stand a hard knock, against a tree for example, without breaking.
To be honest, I'd prefer the TJM snorkels, I had one on my Delica, the material is softer/ more flexible and will withstand knocks etc.

I shouldn't complain really, the snorkel was a gift from the missus, I should have put the extra to and got the TJM though.
Oh well, you live and learn. :( :)

I can't understand how it doesn't work the other way around though, for years I've carefully chosen the very best kitchen utensils and appliances as gifts for my lovely missus and there's just no pleasing her ...... :whistle:
