Paddy Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Can any one recommend an easy fitting and efficient snorkel for a 2.5 N/A sitting in a 1990 ex mod 90? Do I buy off the shelf or make my own, if its DIY drain pipe is there a known source for the flexible rubber gaiter to get it onto the air filter? I have the joy of driving down a flooded lane to get to my house for a couple of weeks during the winter. Last winter the water managed two feet deep which my S111 coped with but this year I need to be prepare my latest addition for the effects of global warming. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Depends how handy you are and how bling you want it I suppose. Black drainpipe is a cheap and easy way to something respectable, my last snorkel was a length of stainless exhaust bent to shape (if you have local boy racer custom exhaust monkeys they may be able to do this for a few pennies) and my dad's one was drainpipe all the way. (See the Super Extreme B&Q Snorkel Thread) Flexi hose you can use S3 Diesel air cleaner hose (63.5mm I.D.) which costs about £12 and is about 1m long, or you can walk into a hydraulics place such as Hyphose and buy Wyrem hose (similar stuff) in any diameter by the metre. For small bits you can always raid the local scrapyard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted May 7, 2007 Author Share Posted May 7, 2007 Thanks Fridge. DIY job then as no recommendations for off the shelf. Save some euros as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
