If you can track down a 200 Tdi air box it'll fit where your oil bath used to. There's loads of different types of snork available, stainless & plastic & for yours will require a hole cutting in the wingtop.
For a quick trip around the rainwater goods section of your local builders merchants & getting some flexi hose from a scrappies you can save a fair bit of wonga for minimal effort though!

sounds like a beta idea yesh
here is the work in progress, it still needs some mounts and some dimensions for the inlet tube, it sits on top of the nearside footwell.....
The outlet is 50 mm as I have a weber carb which is 51 mm diameter ( i'll just make the hose stretch....), change this to suit your carb the other side of this is where the filter will fit. The other tube will be the inlet from the snorkel which will be up the side of the windscreen, with plenty of silicone on the hose inlet / outlet and between the removable end plate. Not forgetting to waterproof the coil, dizzy and plugs too!!!

A snout will be of Fook all use on a series petrol if you don't fix you fan, plugs , point, dissy, coil and electric bits.
All of which are a lot lower than the average air in take.
Start by fixing the bits at the bottom first and working up.
Ps
Don't forget oil seals, Axel breathes and swimming plugs.

I THINK I know what you said... Seriously, for water, yes. But for dust and dirt at least it will bring the air source up further from the dusty ground, no?
Yes your right you also need to do much more work on a petrol, but swopping to a electronic ignition rather than points helps, as does fitting your coil inside a nice super sealed tuppaware box (don,t forget to give it it's own little snorkel to help dissapate the heat) and I find by removing the dizzy and butchering a plastic drinks bottle you can keep quite a lot of water of your dizzy any way.....
Pull the pug leads off and either put a small amount of silicon sealer on the end or some good quality non conducting electrical grease.
Axle breathers are a must as is checking all your seals at regular intervals, if oil can get out water can get in....
Prepare the best you can to try and avoid any potential problems better to change a cheap seal your not sure about than have to replace a major component....

If you're not driving fer miles through water, just fixing a tarp or something similar over your grill prior to driving through the water is pretty effective.
I did the last time we wuz fording (an old waterproof coat) & that + having a leccy fan that I could turn off kept a lot of the worst off me V8. Have got leccy ignition too which helped, but the injun stayed pretty dry even into a bow wave just breaking over the bonnet.
'Course if you stopped it'd be a different matter!
