Snorkels for Brumby

Well the rear diff is all done and I'm about to fit the engine. I have a Weber carb and have modified a standard Brumby air-box to fit it so I can keep the K&N filter. This version of the brumby (its a late '91) has a plastic continuation pipe that goes across the engine bay from the end of the usual air-box and tucks up inside the right wing. I want to fit a snorkel to this. I could fabricate something out of pipe etc but want to get a good finish especially where the snorkel goes through the wing so am thinking adapting a Safari snorkel or similar from another type of vehicle might be better. Has anyone done this or got any pictures of how they've fitted a snorkel?

Cheers,

John

Try this link. It is from a member on this forum. I cant remember which vehicle it come from. Maybe a forerunner .Easy way is , go to get one and try on brumby and see how it fits body line before purchase.

2" steel tube, no bends just cut and welded. This is what my mate knocked up for his. Took a couple of hours. He used a weber, 90mm elbow down pipe bit, flex tube from a industrial vacuum cleaner and a Liberty airbox.

Yeah there my pics. Snorkel is off a toyota hilux from memory... i would need to check... it's been a while.

Also for your information the front half of my car is exactly the same as a brumby so this will work the same way on your car.

Also refer to these links for more info.
