Post by: mark.yellow.series.3 on January 02, 2007, 21:10:30: not sure exactly how but, its basically drainpipe tube, a bit of flexy tube to join to the air intake, and jobs a good'un, and the reference to blue peter is the fact there is really no wrong way (within reason) to make one, its just a pipe that joins the air filter box to a spout to roof level.

I made my own and used the Ã‚Â£75 I saved to buy a CB - lot easier to DIY a snorkle than a CB :)

No plans as such just go for it as I did http://www.landrovernet.com/forum/showthread.php?t=79277

Cost me nothing as I had left over bits of pipe :)

Also, mine doesn't exit at the side where it could be ripped off on narrow lanes

You mean ask the farmer if he still has one thats intacked, most suitable pre clearers are exposed to low braches.

Post by: glaggs on January 09, 2007, 21:44:57: Go to a plumbers merchants. Use flexi hose from airbox/carb whatever and the attach to drain pipe. Plastic drain pipe can be warmed and bent slightly to follow vehicle lines, its cheap enough to experiment with and every towm has a store selling replacement parts (B&Q)

Post by: Littledan on January 10, 2007, 18:36:26: my SJ i had flexi pipe from the air box to the drain pipe, they cut a hole where i wanted it to come out got some mountings and then just had it up the screen with a 45 dg angle on the top with a piece of mesh on the top to stop the crap gettin in
