Title: My New Snorkel
Post by: Sharpshooter on October 05, 2005, 19:43:18

I got bored and made these today. The angled bit goes through the wing, and im sure you know the other bit. I have made it fit to one side, to keep it inside the sides of the vehicle. My other one keeps getting bent in the bush Kent lanes.

What do you think???

the right angled bit, that goes through the wing, i could do with one of those to fit the hole where the plastic panel goes ....

any tips on what to use and best way of doing it?? (ps my welding is terrible...)

The best thing to use is stainless tube, and the best way to do it is via a coded welder. :)  

I am trying to source some reasonably priced materials, and i may make more if anyones interested. :D

I have a snorkel....
