snorkel for 90 with roll cage

[Matt_H]

I've got an external cage on the 90.  I did have a mantex snorkel fitted to the bar that runs up the side of the windscreen.  It's hardly the ideal sollution as the thing keeps getting pulled off :-(

Well on the way to work yesterday it got pulled off again but this time it broke the flexi tube section. I spoke to mantec who wnat just short of £50 for a piece of 30cm tube!  :shock:   I can get an entire snorkel from paddocks for £60 + vat!

OK so my options here, get some flexi tube - looks like the best thing I've found is £100 for 10 metres, I don't think I can buy shorter lengths, so that's a bit of overkill unless someone wants a spare 9 metres.

So what can I do?  Does anyone know where I can get a 30cm section of 80-85mm id rubber tube for realistic money?  Or is there a better sollution for landies with cages?

Not particularly cheap, but you could buy some of that posy motorsport silicon hose.  Bit of overkill but would do the trick.  I reckon it would cost in the region of £25-£30 but should last forever.

Allisport can get it - or may even stock it.

Do you mean like samco hose?  I looked that up £65 for a metre :-(

Oh damn and blast!

How about http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=MSPORT&pcode=SFSSFD25-1 looks to be available in the size you need and not stupidly expensive.

Ian used that stuff under his bonnet... It's probabyl a bit thin for outside but I'll double check :)

just checked and it's too weak to consider using outside :(

That kind of stuff... you don't need as much as a metre, do you!  You can get it pre-formed to the angles you need.

There are cheaper versions, but if you are clear about what you need then you can just order the right section. I would have thought you would be looking at £25-£30

Try Allisport (http://www.allisport.com/) for some prices or have a look here:

Yes, the better solution is a Southdown 4x4 snorkel. Ideal for cages and as it doesn't stick out the side it doesn't get ripped off too. If you don't want to buy the snorkel still call dave as he should be able to supply you with the piece of flexi hose at a decent price.

I take it you need a straight length then!?

[Matt_H]

yup straight length, there is a slight turn in it, maybe 5 degrees.  Straight samco would certainly be ok.
