not really without a large amount of modifacation (bodging)a southdown one would be a better bet

LOTS the safari bolts to the outside of the wing & clamps the snorkel,wing & inner ducting together,u would basically have to fit a def wing air intake to make it work where as the southdown goes down through the wing & is supplied with a lenght o flexi rubber hose to go to the air intake

I also made my own from the customary B&Q drainpipe  :)

Does anyone know if the ram-air snorkel top (Mantec?) is available seperately and will fit the drainpipe as I prefer the look of them to the mushroom tops?

TIA

hi, made mine from the good old drain pipe and the top is a air vent of a 9 tonne ford lorry, one that fits behind the dash blowing it down to the side windows, i took the little flaps off it though after mi mate used to sit andclose them up,

looks good now until today when i realised i had unplugged the heater to fit it, was abit cold in the snow!! hehe
