Hi all, regular browser, first time poster.

Manufacturing my own 3" mandrel bent snorkel. Wondering best and cheapest place to purchase 3" rubber 90degree bend you see on snorkels everywhere. Am in Melbourne and appreciate your help.

Thanks heaps.

most truck shops will carry it
or do a search on it as its been covered plenty of times ,making them and were to get stuff from

oh n welcome to the game

ebay sell heaps of these and id think they would be cheaper then shops

got mine from a rubber hose joint in laverton... around $25ea whereabouts are ya?

Is it better to use the rubber bends or get someone to weld the mandrel bends on?

Nic

mandrel should flow a lil better

rubber makes any breakages easier to fix

My 3" mandrel rubber 90 degree bend was $21, and the 45 degree bend was $32. (I know.. i thought the 45 would be cheaper...lol)

I went to a truck spares shop who stock Donaldson parts. This was in Newy though.

Would you care to post a link...
The only ones I could find on eBay were from overseas.. and the sale price was $37+ p&h

Thanks guys it's a great help. The rubber bend was just to poke through the front quarter, the rest is made up of 3" mandrel bends and pipe.

Thanks again.
