Problem with Disco is that plastic pipe looks like old plastic pipe whereas a snorkel looks like a proper job

what clips did you use to hold the flexi in place and have you had any issues with it wobbling about at speed?

Made my own setup....

Nice, I might try making one for my 2.5na 90. You guys have done some neat work

I made my own same was as sturox but mines abs so i needed longer pip to come in by indicator and to air box. Easy job couple hours max.and sturdy as hell

marty_b · Oct 4, 2013

I was thinking of using stainless steel tube. Not sure what size to use was thinking 50mm- 60mm

I used 60mm Diameter - only because I had this lying around after making up a decat pipe for the mrs's MG

Nice work Stu! I'm hoping to do something similar in the future once I've got my D1 MoT'd and reliable - want to cover the basics first

You've certainly given me an idea or two there

StuRox · Oct 4, 2013

No worries.

I managed to pick up a few Southdown parts off fleabay for a few pennies (the wing mould is very handy to have - makes it a lot neater, and I think I got the window bracket for 99p) so have a look about, as its a very cheap way of getting a snorkel

Cheers bud, yours certainly doesn't look like a bodge, very nice in fact

I made mine but it's a rear snorkel passing through the cab with an inline
Filter and modified and relocated MAF sensor
