My New Snorkel
« on: October 05, 2005, 19:43:18 »
I got bored and made these today. The angled bit goes through the wing, and im sure you know the other bit. I have made it fit to one side, to keep it inside the sides of the vehicle. My other one keeps getting bent in the bush Kent lanes.

What do you think???

The best thing to use is stainless tube, and the best way to do it is via a coded welder. :)  

I am trying to source some reasonably priced materials, and i may make more if anyones interested. :D

I have a snorkel....

it sits in my shed ready for the day I can face drilling a 'kin great hole in the side of my beast... :)

And do I want to go in 5' of water? no, coz I like the inside of my beast :P

Maybe we should take this to the other site where I can swear at you  :D  :lol:
