Newbie/possibly dumbass question

[fool hardy]

It a fairly simple question, whats a camel cut? Sorry for asking something that may have been answered before.

Thanks for any help.

Usually a ligt trim to the front and rear wheel arches, to allow bigger tyres to be fitted without catching on the body work.

Cheers mate, looking at getting a Discovery fitting a 2" lift and 31x10.5 tyres and seen mentions of camel cuts, all becomes clear now.

Thats a smart snorkel did you make that? any idea where to get the mushroom tops from?

Yes it's home made.
 The tops can be bought from most places who do work on off road motors. I got mine from a local independant L/R garage.

 Total cost for the snorkel, including the top, is about £35. All steel, and nothing sticking out from the wing to catch on trees etc. I have seen quite expensive ones crack or split after catching a tree.

 Only takes a couple of hours from taking the wing off to replaceing it.

 You can get the forward/rearward faceing tops if you prefer that look.

The camel cut is not something you hear much about on the RRC forum, because they were done like that at the factory, it's just the original Disco stylilng brought the wheel arch very close to the wheel, combined with the fact that the wheels move back as they go up into the arch.
