Hi chaps.
I have an F reg 90. Originally had a 2.5 early turbo but at some stage has been converted back to a normally aspirated lump. The intake is still on the wing. I have bought a Bearmach copy of the safari snorkel. This weekend I will hopefully be fitting it. What I don't like about these early fittings is you are relying totally on the seal around the wing a there is no way of fitting it to the pipe. On an earlier post Wiltshire landyman showed me a picture of his where he had done away with the original pipe and internal plastic parts. He had made up some kind of fitment which was siliconed to the snorkel which allowed him to fit new flexi pipe to directly. Looked like a much better way to do it. Has anyone else experience of this. Also where can I buy flexi waterproof air intake pipe with 2.5" fitment to link up to the airbox?
Many thanks
Richard
