Stainless Snorkel

[borgy11]

Hi, Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for buying 4 " rubber elbows and bends and stainless tube in melb or online.thanks

Millweld do a really nice stainless snorkle.

If you want to use rubber bends and elbows then go to a truck supply shop.
You will get the bends you are after and even a 4" snorkle head.

Is this going on a GQ or GU?

I just did the same thing mate, got the tube and bends from Tubesales (i think they were in thomastown, they just sent it out). They were well priced and sent it out asap.
I got a 4inch silicone 90deg bend off ebay ($20) the seller was yyautoparts and they offer pickup from Mt. Waverly which is handy.

thanks for all replies, My brother in law and i are both gonna fit them, he is replacing his safari in an 80 series and mine is new install on the gq.
He has done all the running around today and got the pipe and bends.
We also got some t bolt hose clamps but not sure if people put hose clamps or just silicone.

Has anyone fitted one to a tb42e and not ran the pipe all the way along the guard to the airbox intake.Im thinking of coming through the guard earlier and then moving the overflow bottle.and running the pipe on the inside of the engine bay, few more bends though.
any thoughts and even better picks

yeh tubesales in thomastown seems to be cheapest around. however a new stainless supplier just opened up in kilsyth up from corner of canterbury and liverpool rd. prices are pretty good and service is great

Thanks for all the help guys.
4'' tube from tube sales was the go.
After 1 big hole saw and a bit of nutting out the snorkel is now done.
I was going to come through the guard earlier than where the original pick up was but as there was a brake line running through i decided to go all the way.
All i need now is to source a 4'' to 3'' reducer which wont be hard and it will be finished.
In the process i broke off a little vac line that goes into the original plastic air inlet pipe.I'm going to srew a barbed fitting in to fix it but does anybody know what this vac line does. It goes to a little actuator near the airbox.
Cheers

Good to hear you got it all sorted.
Put a pic up when you are finished.

Love my Millweld snorkel, got it put through the guard earlier, only downside is I have to make up a new airbox (Its a TB42e as well)

i miss my stainless snorkle, although mine had rubber bends they look the BALLS!
new truck has a safari..still saves me making/buying one though!

I'll back it up. Tubeweld. Have what you need for a good price.

Ebay - have the cheapest 4" elbows / joiners you can find, they are cheap but a quality silicon rubber <$30

Depending on your location there is a guy just off Hartnett Drive in Seaford, that does polished stainless by the meter pretty sure he is called Stainless Flare
