Snorkle

(1/3) > >>

Snooky:
Just got myself a snorkle from Rebel 4x4, but no fitting instructions, the bits seem easy enough to work out, but where do the brackets attach so you can bolt it to the screen?
Is it obvious or do I need to drill holes etc, is dark outside so can't really check to easily and need to look after the kids so can't leave the house unattended  :wink:

Thought at least some instructions would have come through, but we ordered 2 and both are the same.
Is for a standard Metal round type TD/200TDi fitting.
I guess the silicon is for the connection to the wing and use the self tappers for that bit?

Help please  :D

joker777:
my defender came with the snorkle all ready fitted, but the silicone will be for sealing the connection of the snorkle to the air box, and the self tappers will be for connecting the snorkle to the wing and A pillar you will have to drill pilot holes first before you screw them in. if you get a safari snorkle they normaly come with a template to stick on the car and it tells you where to stick all the holes, its a very easy job on a defender, just dont forget to put a bit of paint on all the holes you drill just to stop it from corroding ;)

Mudmonkey:
Look in my photo gallery for the instructions, they are for a td5 i think but the principle is the same. If you want bigger pics just PM me and ill send you some. :P

Cassillis:
When you've done the fitting check the drain valve in the airbox. They are a small black rubber thingy with a V shape at the bottom.

If it's old it will be brittle and cracked. Replace it or better still seal it up and check the airbox periodically yourself.

It cost me an engine rebuild when i drowned mine.

Firkin thing :evil:  :evil:

Snooky:
MM, great instructions and makes more sense now, think I might just rivet the plates on though, just as secure and won't need to strip the inside out to do it  :wink:
