Next thing that I would really like to do to my pajero is make a home
made snorkel out of stainless steal, I want it to look like this one. >>
I wanna know how to do this, im wondering how the hell I would bend it
I would try and get a plastic black elbow into the engine bay but how would
I bent it to go up to the head?? and how much am I looking at to make this.
Buy a 45 degree stainless steel bend and get it welded in to straight sections. Rivnuts to secure it to your pillar. I want to do one also but haven't really had the time.
My dad just suggested as an experiment try using gutter down pipe only thing is its thin so how would I weld it if I made it out of this?
He said I would have to soilder it or something but that wont really old up for very long, then he come up with maybe using alliminum tubing, and just getting it bent.
but I was thinking then I thought that you could go to an exhaust place and get stainless steel and get them to bend it all up for me, is that a good idea?
hey, a mate at work has just made one for his patrol, he just got some straight stainless pipe and some bends, cut the bends to the right angles tacked it up and welded it himself with the tig, im thinking of doing this myself.
Im from York which is not far from perth, what do you mean about
welding it? sry i didt understand what ya ment.
Thx Wade
Sorry mate, I should have explained more. You can buy stainless steel bends so if you got two 45 degree ss bends and cut them to size and welded them to a straight section of ss tube using a tig. You could the use the rubber bend like in the photo to pass through to the engine bay. Buy yourself a air ram from a truck spares place. Then use rivnuts to connect brackets to the car body, then connect to the snorkel.
i understand i didt think you would no it:P considering ur not from perth
but yeh thats where i live ill see what i can do, ill have to get it welded cause i dun have the right welder to weld stainless steal.
Yeah i like that one wade we should do one like that would be way easier then a tig welded one and in my opinion wade i lioke this one better then a solid one.

I am from perth, I just recently moved to melbourne. Shouldnt cost you too much to get it welded.
It looks much easyer but the way shortie says to do it would look a lot better i think, rather than haveing rubber bends and put a proper head on it, shorti would you go 4" for the snorkal or smaller?

I'm not shorti but i would imagine 2.5 - 3" would be plenty for the paj - any more is just pose factor...
I wish my lawn was EMO, then it would cut itself...
