This is a 200TDi Fender, but might give you some ideas.

Have a look here ... Snorkel ... OK. it's not a homemade, but it'll give you an idea of the hole and how to fix the snorkel tube to the A-post etc ..

I'll have a look tomorrow and se if I've still got the template, I can scan it and email it you if you like, might help a bit.

ye mate that would be a help..

Found it.

Be aware that the scan and your subsequent print-out might not be exact but it'll be close. Also be aware that this is for a Southdown snorkel, can't remember the diameter, so if you use a different tube size or different angle into the wing the the hole needs to be different. Has to be said, think I said it in my write-up, that this hole is a tad wide, but needs to be to allow a little movement when fitting ..

Have fun, post some pics when you're done ..

Bit off topic, well sort of anyway, anyone got measurements of the A-pillar mount off a southdown snorkel? I've got a southdown wing moulding to keep everything nice and tidy but could do with a more precise bracket. Anyone got a tape handy? Cheers!
