Thats the ticket - no smashing that on stray branches.
What did the pipe cost in the end?

my snorkel

Post by Rangee »

The pipe cost me bout 200 bucks and the hose was about 40 bucks .. and all i need now is the safari intake for the top.
the grill behind the bonnet will have a polished stainless mesh instead of the crap plastic which is currently there, to match the snorkel
will send pics to Mike when it is done and he can post them, i pick up my new Lightforce spotties on monday ... woo hoo .. then i will have 10 light facing forward...
" if i dont see ya .. u wernt there"
cheers

Steve if the stainless is a bit bling and $$$, then 3" exhaust pipe will do the same just get it powder coated black. Maybe we can get a double order as we are both local.

Bloody oath mate i'll be in that! what engine u running? i've got the 3.5 carb so im still deciding on how to plumb it any ideas? Not too sure about duelies cos i want to convert to EFI in a couple of years!

Also is 3 inch normal i would have guessed it would have been a bit larger! :D Suppose snorkle rams fit on a three inch!

Keep in touch and we might be able to arrange something!

cheers ;)

Rather than powder coating I am going to cadnium plate it,choice of silver or gold,more scratch resistant than paint and rust proofs the inside as well.

Not sure where your location actually is but is this a common practice on metals! Do many people do it!

Stainless Custom Snorkel

Post by Richard James »

My 1976 Series 3 Diesel Landrover (SWB) has had a custom made stainless steel snorkel for over a year - it was made and fiited by Bill Larman for a very reasonable price and works perfectly.
I would put up a photo if I knew how to.

The photo's are of Rangee's snorkle. PM him for more info. Mine is a Rangie spares one and it's on a 4BD1 diesel so I don't think it would help many of you.

Okay, heres some photos of mine. The ducting is flexible 3inch inside diameter, the snorkle itself is 3 inch exhaust pipe with two mandrel bends welded in, and painted black..... The mounts I didn't make, a guy I know had made it, then chopped the bottom off later to use for something else, I just put the bottom bend back on. Around the (massive!) hole in the scuttle panel is some flare piping I had left over.

You need to cut a section out of your bonnet, and also at the front of the scuttle panel, where the ducting comes through in mine (and obviously one for the snorkle to poke through).

Excuse the yellow wiring next to the duct, its recent and I haven't got round to putting conduit over it yet.

Nice work Ranging.

It's been a while since I looked under the bonnet of a carb rangie, but regarding routing of flexy pipe - can the centre air filter be flipped over so intake is pointing towards windscreen? Maybe even reverse alloy U-bends as well, if not enough room for centre pipe?
I dunno if possible and just thinking out aloud but it could neaten up the intake routing a bit, save pipe dangling over motor...
