Made a filter box to use a K&N cone type filter with a stub to take a flexy joint to the B&Q drainpipe (!) snorkel. The flexy joint is a cut down Morris Minor steering rack boot  :D

Amazing stuff that B&Q pipe..... Thats what I used too.... but it let water in the joints so I suggest you take it appart when happy with it and use silicone on the joints..... I am going to.

Progeny's pipe work leaked at Bures too...... in the end he borrowed some duct tape from me to seal his, mine was too dirty.

My pipes are glued together on the loose joints. Some of the joints were so tight I couldn't get them apart again!
