I have an old 4by that has become a bit of a project recently.
Its not the sort of thing you can buy bits for readily, so i was planning on building a snorkel out of 3" stainless tube. My Bro In Law is a steel fabber, so he can tig the bracket/mounts for the A pillar ok, and i was planning to make an airbox arrangement out of sheet etc.

My Q is, where do you get the 3" rubber type elbows etc from? Do i use something like os radiator hose? Turbo hose seems too stiff (not to mention exxy).

See a few GQ's etc about with ss fabbed snorkels, but never been able to catch one yet to ask.

S/steel elbows are half the price of rubber. I have built both styles.\

Midway metals in Yatla sell them:
