Disco WON'T fit, because the bonnets are very different!  Ours comes through the gap under the deck panel and out just in front of the screen.  You can make one easily enough if you're at all handy.

Ours already had the Safari snorkel top fitted when we bought it, I think the rest is home made though.  Curiously it's one of the few bits that was done well.

I'm sure the universal or NA snorkel could be made to fit if you're handy enough  :wink:

£160 :shock:   If I thought I could sell them I'd design my own Snorkel top and sell them cheap to club members, other then that all you need is some flexible hose and a 4 inch pipe.

Mine is an '87 EFI with a rebel 4 x 4 universal with mushroom top....

Those that were at roof level at Langley will testify that it works !!

and no probs with air flow as far as I know.....................

Make one yourself.
Easy on a rangie.
Here's a picture of my mates one.
Some flexy hose, a lenght of drain pipe and a 90degree turn are all you need.

Almost certainly.  I've also got to plum the LPG unit into mine at some point soon.
