Removing safari snorkel

(1/5) > >>

drmike:
I've had it with the ruddy snorkel. All it does it get thumped by trees and stuff. I'm never going deep enough to get a wet bum so I plan to remove it.

As it was fitted to the 90 when I bought it I have no instructions and I'm not sure what to expect when removing it or what kind of hole I'll be left with.

Can anyone advise please?

Mike

If its the same as the hole you have to cut on the disco for a safari you'll need a new wing as its not small.
Also depending on the way its attached to the wing (again if same as the disco) thye easiest way to take it off is to remove wheel, remove plastic wheel arch liner and then you can access the bolts - I would say for the hassle leave it in place

defenderdan:
You don't have to cut a big hole when fitting, on a defender its already there. You will need to get hold of a grille to put in the big hole in the wing but you will be left with three small bolt holes. As for inside the wing there is a moulded pipe that you will need that connects to the flexy pipe from the air box. You might be best putting an ad in the wanted section as there must be loads of people who have taken these parts off when they fitted their safari snorkels. :)

drmike:
Dan that's very helpful and I'll put something in wanted for as you say many people must have just what I need.

Hi Mike

You'll have no problem selling the safari snorkel. If you still want a snorkel go for a southdown one. You have not of the tree hitting issues.

Cheers

Steve
