EXO + Snorkel = ???

Post by antt »

Just wondering how other people with exo's have done their snorkel? For obvious reasons i cant run a standard one, so i'm looking for ideas on how to fit one :?

here is mine. We used 3" steel tube for the snorkel. it is attached to the exo. It is out of sight from the drivers seat and is also as strong as the exo. i have lent the car onto it a few times with no damage other than scrapped paint.

Hey Grimbo how is the front of your exo supported? does it just tie to the wiper/bonnet panel or is there another section inside attaching it to the floor/chassis?

it is tied into the windscren cowl on two planes, across the top and down the side. So far so good, it has taken the weight of the car when lent into a bank etc. As to rollover protection the cage is there for the that and the front exo is there more to protect the windscreen surround

nah, baby steps. Took me a year to get it to him, now it will take a few weeks to look at it, then we'll decide to do something about it. So maybe in time for november :D Hopefully he can have a proper look on Monday which will give me a better idea of what happens next
