Outer Limits 4x4 Board

just installed a new custom made stainless steel snorkel to my 87 classic, went in ok without any major problems and looks pretty neat too, if anyone wants the pics of a description on how i did it .. email me

Next on the list to build.
They look excellent.

Michael.

cheers for the e-mail.. looks hooooooooooootttt!!!!

Is is a possibility to post the pics and steps in here so we can all have a look,
Just a thought
Dave

Will leave the how to to Rangee
Michael.

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

Very Very cool!!!

I wouldn't mind having dual in takes one day

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

Doin a fair bit of searchin in the archives and found this thread!

Who else has done this stainless snorkle themselves and does any one have pics of there work?

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! 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!

Yeah pic of the main plumbing under the hood would be awesome!

lol smart ass!

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.

hey all

was just searchin and came across this thread. am makin one for mine and was wondering if you all had some more pics

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.

cheers for that needed a project this weekend go and see my mates at the muffler shop. what size pipe you reckon 3'' and where can i get the fexible tube from a plumber shop?

cheers for the pics will let you know how i go sick rangie too

What about this r/h snorkel i've made, to match my l/h Rangie Spares one. The one in the photo is the dummy i made for the fibreglassers to take a mould of, the mould will be finished tomorrow.

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...
