Plumbers snorkel for a 40

Post by Reddo »

Has anyone made, or got a simple snorkel design they used on there 40 that I could possibly pinch. I know it’s not hard to make em, just looking for a bit of info.

Regards

tiger, pay your local exhaust joint a visit.
then decide, normal pipe or a nice polished staino job-$130i paid.

then get brackets made and plumb it onto your car.- if you figure out a good solution here let me know, mine is sitting on the floor at home still!

oh and i actually bought the top unlike most people. it was 30 bucks from a filter shop.

Yeah i was thinking of that (pay your local exhaust joint a visit), But i dont have $130 to spend on it ATM, all my cash is going into the 2H motor atm.
+ i had some PVC floating around so it kind of made sence, and i just realised the Hi-lift jack going to be a pita, because it mounts straight up the side of the 4wd, so its going to be in the way.

Brackets would be eas, you only need one at the top, and one that holds it to the guard. Once its inside the eng-bay its easy, just use some flexible pipe....... much the same as pat has on Otis

yeah i was going to get some flexi hose gear off my local 4x4 joint....

but, the pipe weighs a fair amount. shes 3 inch. its suprising how heavy it is. i was going to go like 4 brackets, but then i thought well if they could clamp around it, and if they were staino that would come up a trick.

so i am on the case but not too sure of what will work and what will look nice.

bit worried about nudging a tree etc and ripping the snorkel off.

PVC could ne a winner though. light and cheeeep!

I made mine from 65mm polly pipe ,a 90 degree bend,a couple of 60 degree (I think) bends and put a ram or pre cleaner on top.Cost me nothing, but if you had to pay for the parts, maybe $20 (plus ram).
