I'll try to be brief:lol
Project roofrack is awaiting transport north for fitting:thumb2
Project springs is complete:thumb2
Awaiting some rotten wings for Project wheels, 37"'s need a bit of wing trimming and mine are too good to chop:thumb2
Currently on with Project get it through an MOT, it ran out in may:eek:
So i am setting about Project Snorkel:clap
Sort of brief, but here comes the good bit:naughty
My last troll had my BnQ budget drainpipe snorkel and it did the job.
As my current Troll is in much better nik I think some thing a bit sexier is in order, and as I refuse to pay full price for anything I thought I would try to get the bits on the cheap:nenau
I am looking at two of the silicone turbo hoses, a 90 from the enginebay through and along the wing and a 45 from there up the 'A' post. These come in sexy red to match the Troll at about £15 each.
The bits inbetween are planned to be 77.6mm dia 1.5mm wall polished Stainless Steel. I can aquire this at £16.50 per metre the only problem being it comes in a 6M length so I will have a Bit Spare.
So if any of you chaps and chapesses want to go down the same route I can do the Tube to you at cost and cut to lengths to suit.
The clever bit is the connection to the airbox inside the wing. I will get this drawn up and have some plates Lasered and short section of tube fitted so every thing can be jubilee clipped together.
I will also have some stainless steel tabs welded to the tube to allow fxing to the truck.
I guess probably £60 for the kit plus your choice of snorkel top
not too cheap but will not crack and it will look the bollox.
I need to order the tube soon so any takers to use up the first length let me know.:thumb2
