Roof line snorkel

[makeitfit]

Another mod I've done while no one was looking
I've never found a snorkel I like on the T2 so decided to make my own, again :lol
I found a nice scoop on a pajero up that there scrap yard . Nice and simple screw on jobbie, well ish.
Cant find the original pics, ImgBB has hidden them :doh
Here's the sanded and etch primed one though

Got some rattle can paint to match the truck

This is going in the roof just behind the passenger seat.

I've carefully guessed where the bolts go and drilled the roof optomistically :lol and yes that's a bitof down pipe I had left over from house jobs :augie

As it turned out my holes were close enough so I bonded it down with tigerseal.

And now the cheesey bit I had the bits so I'm damn well using them

I'm routing the rain pipe down the B post, along the floor and then through the bulkhead, just where some gay types have air con pipes :lol

The little moon shaped bit now welded up

Elbow and more tigerseal. From here it'll be flexi to the modified air box.

Airbox blanked one end new pipe welded in the otherside.

The boy has a new welder by the way :naughty

Ebay air intake hose wire reinforced and some clips and the front end is done.

This bit was the most fiddly but got the angles marked, glued and done with plenty of limbo action :lol

Not my prettiest work but the pipe needed a little heat to form it round the seat base. I may have added a tad too much
but hey, I can't see it from my seat

The whole thing works a treat and produces a very satisfying roar on boost :naughty
Shmooth :thumb2

I like that a lot, my only concern is if you go through a water splash and water lands on the roof it is straight down that hole, perhaps you should add a baffle to the front, Rick

I've cut the pipe that goes through the roof at a slight angle. Highest bit at the front. I've been driving in torrential rain and tested in some bloody great waters , so far so good. Not a sniff of damp.
I've considered drilling a 4mm hole at low level , but until I see any evidence of wet I'll leave it.

OK point accepted, Rick

Awesome

:clap:bow:thumb2.

Absolutely awesome.

I attended a course on how to improvise helicopter battle damage repair, you would have aced the course. A superb example of using items to complete a task they were not designed for. I am deeply envious.
