Try doing an ebay search, there is usually one on there and if not bits to make one. Think southdown do a rrc one

If you find a decent looking cheap option let me know, cause i want one too!

mantec do one bout £180 proper metal job but you cant turn standard top to face forward as it is angled, so it ends up pointing in the air, looks daft!

Hello mate,

you can pick up a defender one off ebay for about £60.
That's what I did,
I just arched the flat plate that fits to the side of the defender and it fitted my scuttle side panel perfectly.

PM me for phots as I've never had much luck putting them on here.
Cheers................

Fitted a B&Q snorkel yesterday, dead pleased with it, but may yet alter it! £10 for plastic pipe and brackets/bends and £7.50 for a metre of flexi pipe. Will test it at Bures this weekend. took around 2 hours of messing about in the sunshine, and I reckon it looks pretty good.

One thing many people say top me about the snokels is that the V8 engine doesn't want forced air intake and to turn the head round if you have a safari head.

All that stuff about ram air is bunk, the effect of having the air intake forewards counteracts about a tenth the restriction that 2 metres of pipe creates.
