Mine has a Rebel 4 x 4 Series Landy one on it but upside down so it sits right with the screeb rake (had to lob about 6" off it with a hacksaw too!)

Only problem I had was attaching the flexy under the scuttle panel and then routing it through to the top of the wing.....but if I had made a slightly bigger hole it would have been a piece of cake.....

Go for it, then silicone the dizzy cap and airflow meter tops on and wahay!!

Thanks to everyone for replying.

Deff. worth a go of making one save some serious wedge.
For what they are,  firms seem to be charging what they like.
Has anyone had any problems with the amount of air getting
down to the air filter or isn't it a prob.

thanks alot lads a penny saved is an extra beer token.

Actually, every penny saved is another WD40 token if you are going deep.....

Thanks Robbie, forgot that bit !!

I haven't had any problems with airflow, but by that I mean it runs as crap with a Snorkel as it ever did without it  :lol:  :lol:
