I bought a southdown snorkel off ebay, its the unpolished pipe so it was a lot cheaper. It looks the mutts nuts and its taken a hell of a lot of abuse without any problem. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Does the pipe work go down the wing and through in behind the o/s indacater where the old breather was?

Cheers TEMP

Yep the pipe runs between the inner and outer wing then through the hole where the plastic pipe between the air box and wing would be.

Tehy aren't seconds, they are unpolished top quality pipes.  Speak to Dave at Southdown, top bloke, & he will even tell you how to polish properly & you will have the mirror finished pipe  :afro: with alot of hard work  :lol:
Did everyone see that?  Because I will NOT be doing it again!
