I have a Safari snorkel fitted to the RHS of my LHD Landrover Defender.
Im in the process of fitting a Mantec wader kit. Have got to the point where the front-axle breather tube and two engine-block breather-tube extensions are to be fitted either along the rear-outside of the snorkel or led through a convenient grommet (cant see a convenient one) to the inside of the vehicle and thence to a high point within the vehicle. ( .. as you prefer, say the Mantec fitting instructions.
As for the rear-axle breather, this has to be led to a high point inside the vehicle.
Have been told that engine breather tubes inside the vehicle will result in engine-oil smells coming inside, which seems a reasonable point. (Is it true?) Another point is that inside, at the RHS front, there seems to be no obvious way of leading the three tubes to a high point. How could three tubes be fitted snugly, conveniently and in a way that looked good along the inside of the roof-support at the right front corner??? (I dont think they could.)
Id like to hear from anyone whos fitted this Mantec kit, with any advice. Should I fit the breather tubes inside or out, and if outside, how best to fit them to the rear of the snorkel?
