JUST WONDERING IF ANY 1 KNOWS WHERE TO GET 4 INCH RUBBER BENDS FOR A SNORKLE AND IF YOU KNOW THE PRICES

try a heavy machinery shop like komatsu or the likes tis where i got the 3" ones for the snorkles

any truck parts place should be able to get them. Think Ontrack get theres from Coburg track parts. But they may source there own direct now though.

I picked some up from Colrain truck parts. By memory they were about $30 each for 90 and 45 deg bends.

as a last resort seeing you're in Melb, Queensland Deisel Spares will have them.

truck bits in dandenong. they're about $30 or so each. I got one 90deg bend and two 45deg bends, 8 clamps for around $100. add that to the $12 i paid for 2 metres of pipe, a few man-hours and that's a cheaper and better looking snorkel than anything @RB sells! oh, and make sure you get the clamps that have no ratchett holes as they will wear through the rubber more easily.

where'd you get the stainless for $12?

any one that sells donaldson air cleaners should have or be able to get them.

the place was a scrap joint in bayswater, almost opposite bunnings but can't remember the name. it's not stainless but aluminium, 4". they also had stainless for the same price (around $6 per kg) but stainless was a bit harder to come by in 4' tube. it's in really good condition and super easy to cut through. welding brackets is painful, need TIG to do it on aluminium.

Who cares if he's getting ripped it $12 bucks big deal, Still a bloody cheap and great looking snorkel. Hey you have to agree

i did mine a few months ago i got the bends from truckline in Brooklyn for about $22 each and hoseclamps were only 90c each i got a 4" to 3" reducer that cost me $30 and i got 2 meters of polished stainless from tubesales in Thomastown and that cost me $80 and this was the end result

insane thats how i did it go tubesales, man they should sponsor us haha, anyway most supercheaps or autobarns can get them in for you aswell

Hey insane looks good, what size pipe is that?
3 or 4"

hey guys

for those that have done it, how do u prevent water getting in the top part of the snorkle using just that rubber elbow? i put mine on and have been reluctant to let the car see the rain as yet for fear of the water getting sucked in or, when parked, just running in. i used 4 inch alloy for my snorkle and just painting it black to blend in with the car.

cheers
