landrover series 3 snorkle

im after making a raised air intake for mi series 3 landrover , im thinking do away with the oil bath filter, use a k&n few bits of silicone hose and sum alloy tub, how do i connect it do i just go of the carb or is there another way ?

Yes you can do away with the oilbath,use the rubber hose that goes from the carb to the oilbath just get a pipe that fits inside it,I used household drainpipe for mine,you can cut it to length and buy the bends that just slot together. I used a 90 degree bend where it comes out of the wing and a 45 degree is perfect for the angle of the windscreen,plus a cone shaped K+N fits straight on! And you can get the clips to fasten it to the wing
here's a couple of pics to get an idea what I'm on about!

I know mines a V8 but if yours is a 4 cylinder only do the one, hope this helps jon

Personally I cant stand drain pipe being used for snorkels but each to their own!

For mine I ditched the oil bath, repalced with an aitbox from an early RRC (had to reverse the flow as I wanted the snorkel on the passenger side). Bought a metal mushroom snorkel top and snorkel elbow for about £15 for the pair from ebay and then welded some metal pipe brackets etc to suit.

Nice job mate,better if you'd used drainpipe though!

you won't be able to fit an airbox under the n/s wing on a series 3, the heaterbox/ blower is there
