home made snorkel

ormondstreet · Oct 21, 2009

I can't afford a snorkel so I'm going to put a piece of 3" flexipipe directly from the air box up through the wing and up the windscreen.
problem is I want to completely blank off the side vent and drill a hole in the wing top but the heater vent is in the way. Can I ditch the air inlet to the heater and let it just take air from inside the engine compartment? with maybe a mesh cover over the end of the heater fan?. Will this effect the heater's performance(hahaha)?:blabla: or am I:5bbeatdeadhorse5:

wot enjin you got in it?
i could sell yer my snorkel ..
mantec type wiv mushroom top rear wing plate has been custom adapted and has a metal circular flange welded on,so you just connect a peice of flexi pipe from yr airbox to it,

Have a look at this...

do not allow your heater to take it's air from under the bonnet.
at best the inside of your landy will stink.
worst case you will die - a leaky manifold or down-pipe will mean exhaust fumes being drawn into the cab.
