hay PJ.zook what degree are the bends you used i no the one coming out of the bonnet is 90 but what are the other to


not mine but like it, ill probably do one smiler to this



cheers Scott

The other two are 45deg bends mate. To get it into the original airbox i just took the 3" 90deg bend and the small rubber bend on airbox into bunnings and found some pvc that fit beautifully. There is a stepped reducer that fits the 3", then for the airbox rubber bend i think a female to female 2" (i think) adapter.

airbox is 2.5inch.. that's why i did my whole thing from 2.5...
and it was free

I used a 60 degree bend going up the windscreen, and then a 30 at the top so the ram head sits level.

I used 3 inch exhaust pipe, and then got a silicone 3 inch to 60mm adapter bend to go onto the airbox - just gotta weld on some tabs, rivnut it to the windscreen and it is almost done...

Gotta love the rivnuts, fantastic little bastards

Here's Mine 3" Stainless Powdercoated Mounted with taped plates welded to inner-side bolted thru Guard and Rivnuts on Pillar. Cost Me $20 to make!



Here's the build up of my snorkel!

Is a metallic finish possible with powdercoating? i wanted to match my front bar which is a gunmetal grey, but didn't hink you could do it with powdercoat...

What tires are you running there? They look pretty crazy

Just standard 31" Simex. They work great.

With the right hand rear back to front

Good looking car PJ.

Is it the well used body or the big tyres that do it for you Steve?

I'll post pics of mine when I get home and have access to photobucket again. 3" exhaust from front of guard with one 90 degree silicone bend into airbox.

The "satin" paint, the stance... and the well used body.

Steve.

hey BOGFROG did you use mild wire when welding yours?? i noticed it rusted.. hence the powder coating?

or did you use grinding gear that had been used with mild?

Finaly finished mine... all bar 2 more bolts and a snorkel head....








So stoked... took me a few hours to get the right finish on the stainless that i wanted... not to shiny

Hey Jonno-racing! Yeah, cause it wasn't all stainless ( The 90 deg bend into the guard is mild steel) we just used mild wire to weld it all up but I was going to powdercoat it anyway, polished is just to blingy for me.I think it suits my jigger better being color matched anyway! Thx Robb.

hay jonno_racing did you weld the manral bends in or was that one staight bit of s steal which you got manral bent?
ternd out realy good mate hope mine is as good when i do one

cheers scott.

Look closer, you can see the weld lines.

Not a conventional snorkel, but plenty for everything except winch challenge or something.

Precleaners bring the cool.



Steve.

How does the bonnet open past the precleaner on that one steve? Just a big hole under where the precleaner sits?

It doesn't - you have to remove the precleaner - no biggie.

Steve.

here's the snorkel on my old Zuk that gwagensteve made and jtraf has cleaned up and made all purdy. Actually he's made the whole thing real purdy

3inch flexible hose with snorkel top, modified GTi air box and silcone bend to the throttle body.




Cheap, affective and bounces back after a lie down

Hey all

mitch

Heres mine - it was made by/for sierrjim
