Second hand Safari or similar, try wrecking yards or ebay/trading post/classifieds.
OR
Make one from steel/stainless steel tubing.
OR
If you want cheaper, use plastic plumbing pipe.

Ive got 3 inch stainless steel on my Lux, its got a 2.4diesel in it. It seems to be fine.
Anywhere 3inch or 4inch should be fine to use.

If you get a hold of a factory snorkel, be sure to get the later model one. The ones fitted to the 2H powered 75s have a real narrow orifice where the join is. This is bad news when/if you fit a turbo. The newer ones have a way larger internal size at the joint.
Don't take life too seriously...it isn't permanent.

cheapest and easiest........
hmm
i made mine...
as the fellas said.. 3inch steel and elbows from exhaust shop and welded up.
i own a hj47...
i moved the air box a little from memory..
and welded in a 3inch intake...

it took time to do.....
but looved the results...
great improvement when driving in cool areas....
no restrictions.

feel free to pm me...
ill organise pics..
need to take them first.

my time was free...material including the snorkel....pipe and elbows....200? so long ago like 2002?
the air ram alone was like 90dollars arb...shop.

and welded in a socket so it can be drained of water...at the bottom of snorkel
never have yet...drained it or needed to.....
i permanently removed the cup that clips under the airbox.....as it has a drain hole and welded it up without it. their.
im really happy how it looks.... :armsup: :shock: :shock: :lol:

I got my snorkel hat for 45bucks, from a truck spares shop.
The truck spares joints have a good selection of LED tailights and snorkel hats of different sizes, and are usually alot cheaper than the autoparts stores.

There is a guy who sells safari style knock-offs on eBay, $180 each pick up from Mornington Peninsula or courier for extra cash. There are no internal hoses to run from snorkel to air filter so you'd have to source them
