Thanks Kallen ......that's a nifty small looking unit that AB posted up, I have never seen anything that small over here (NZ) so that gives me a something to start looking for anyway.I prefer to have everything on the table before I start a project so will start with that and continue onward and upward...................

Hey Kallen found what I was looking for on Trade me here in NZ...didn't know they existed until I knew what I was looking for thanks to AB and yourself Kallen.. $42 just what I need to help kick start the project will get all the gear together before I even contemplate cutting the guard...really like the look off AB's project with his snorkel so will lean towards that design but with a couple of ideas of my own ...can't pinch all AB's idea that's his signature...but certainly a design to get ideas from...something different is always good.......

Just try it out on some tin or corrugated iron mate. Just drill a hole in the middle of the area and then cut the hole.
I just used a drill on a low setting to the speed of the nibble was slow, easy to do mate.
Here's a basic video below of one in action, see how slow it can go.....Can't stuff it up mate!

Compared with what mate?
A snorkel stops water getting in the air intake during water crossings. It also lets the engine draw air from up higher where it's cooler and cleaner. A 4" snorkel will have less resistance than a 2" one. I made a 3" the same as ABs after seeing this thread:-)
