stuck Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Hi all, Forgive me if this is a frequently asked question (I've searched the forum but can't find what I'm looking for) but I want to fit an additional winch battery in the near side tray on a '88 Vogue. I've moved the vacuum reservoir and the power steering reservoir but I'm at a loss as what I can do with the air filter, I'm planning on fitting a snorkel in the near future, would this solve the problem? Would greatly appreciate any pictures of a similar instalation. Many thanks, Mick. (Sorry, it's a 3.5 EFI!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 You've done the hard bit! Just chop the trumpet off. Plenty of room then for the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 And with the trumpet cut off, you can easily fix some 76mm pipe over the end of it, and tighten with a big jubilee (or two ofc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roverdrive Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I moved the filter back, and chopped the trumpet off, re welding it to the end piece to smooth the air flow a bit. If I can find a pic I will try to post it, but I am a good way from home just now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roverdrive Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Through the wonders of technology I have found the pics, but haven't tried attaching to posts before, so if this hasn't worked, PM me for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dengie Boy Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I've moved the air box back and cut the trumpet down, as my snorkel tube runs down the wing top next to the washer bottle. Just be careful that the air box clears the bonnet. Sorry for the blurry pic , if needed I can take some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
