Anyone know what diameter stainless pipe southdown supply with their snorkel kits? Also, where would one acquire the flexi hose from?
I plan on using their lovely wing mouldings which are £15 on ebay and i have a mushroom top filter. Just need the bit in between now!

Cheers.

Yeah they do, but you seen the price! I can just get some alu tube and use that, just thought it'd be easier if i knew the size to start with to work everything out like.

the southdown stainless pipe has a bend where it goes into the lovely wing moulding.

I think the metal pipe is supposed to go right through the moulding, then your flexi pipe jubilee clips onto the steel pipe. Probably...

Would welding 2 pipes at a 23 degree angle work by any chance so it'll go through?

What type of pipe are you using Mark? I'm thinking of using some 2.5" exhaust.

the 2.5 pipe i had was internal size so didnt fit im using 2 inch internal diameter stainless pipe with a short 45 bend in it. it goes through nice but is a little slack in the upper part but i am either gonna weld a lip on it or make a sleave its only like a mm or 2 so might get away with black mastic or something what ever looks best. doing it at work in between jobs so is abit slow going but free (well to me)
