RoverC Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 I am trying to find or have made twin snorkels to fit into both outer side vents on the wings of my Defender. I love the size and look of he Ex-tec ones, but they say it wont fit with my roll cage (like the 50th Aniv ones) Anyone know who makes them for this co? Anyone know who could make me ones just like it to fit? They are 80mm I dont need tops nor uderhood tubing. I asked Ex-tec to make them and theyve ignored me. Heres a link and pics are under shop then Defender, then Erhöhte Luftansaugung http://www.ex-tec.de/ I am running an LS1 Chevy V8 and need all the air I can!

minivin Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 A piece of 1.5mm sheet alloy cut and drilled for the wing fitting, a length of alloy tubing bent or cur to profile, welded up by an alloy welder, sorted guv'nor! If you get a plate made to match the wing inlet, then a proficient alloy welder and a tube bending peep experienced with big-bore alloy should have the job jobbed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nakatanenga Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Hi, the problem with those single tube snorkels is that they are to stiff. They connect the windscreen wit the fender very tight ...and tend to fall off. This is known over here. Cheers Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
