Can anyone send me a close up pic of the connection point of a safari snorkel to the airbox in their Y61 Patrol please ?
Mine isnt a good connection.

hi ya
is this what you are after or a view under the inner wing

Perfect

Thats the view Im after thanks.
What is the sealer between the join ?
Also, when you come to change the headlight bulb on the n/s the airbox has to be removed which will disturb this seal.
I had to disturb the seal to do exactly that and since then the seal has never been quite as good as it was first time.
I just think its a poor way of sealing an important gap. Unless Im missing something obvious ?
Thanks for the pics.

Hi i used industrial heat proof silicon sealant
not had to change h/light bulb yet but can see
it would be tight
have changed the sidelights to led ones that was
close as well

Dadba's got a bit of a gap at the top of that connection Dave, almost is if the airbox assembly had tilted away a bit... it looked to me when he showed me as if his airbox just wants tilting back up a few degrees from the furthest point but no idea what the mounting gubbins is like...did yours fit flush first time or did you have to change anything?

are you playing "Ill show you mine if you show me yours" then?

Going to remove the inner wheel arch in the morning will have a look
i think the horizontal wing tube goes into that flange assembly and
secured with a large jubilee clip, the seal we are looking at just
secure it to the wing and need not necessarily be air tight.
Going to remove the whole snorkel and strip the paint of then get it
re finished as its flaking.
will show u some more in the morning :thumbs:kissy
