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?

sorry, can't see the type you mean

it's this snorkel btw

kind of looks like it's glued onto some metal

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

ArticFox · Oct 4, 2013

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
