Snorkel Sock/Unifilter

[MB]

Food for discussion thought folks :-)!
Outback dust gravity settles in time agreed?
How much forward forced air ramming does your variant donk and driving style need?
Forward facing snorkels may have been adopted from say 4.0m+ high truck needed convoy clean intakes?
Snorkels are betterer than Patrol OEM pickup points across Australia/Worldwide agreed

Will see what I can do about details and/or a photo on the weekend.

Found some old pics and info.....

The pvc adaptor started life as a Holman 100mm PVC floor grate. I got it from Bunnings.

The outer flange has been trimmed back so that it sits flush with the face of the snorkel tube.
I also cut the grill from the cover.
The black bit inside the pvc is a bit of 3.5" silicon hose that provides a shoulder for the Droopy to sit against.
The hose is a very snug fit inside the pvc. The pop rivets at the bottom are a bit of extra retention.
The whole lot drops inside the top of the snorkel, up to what's left of the flange.
The ram head then slides over the top and holds it all in place.

Thanks Geoff, really good effort - appreciate it as it will save anyone time if they can at least visualise the assy.

Don't laugh, but I fit a stocking over my snorkel. Yes a ladies' leg stocking (black of course). Obviously doesn't filter dust but keeps all objects larger than say a millimetre out of the air box. Been using them for years after being surprised how many bugs and bits of stick were getting through. It's a great improvement. As far as real filtering, I just stick with paper filters and change them out as needed. They're a consumable like oil filters so I dont sweat it.

Back from a slow pinstripe classic and of course my stocking snorkel cover was completely rastus. Sticks and leaves stuffing my box.

A vacuum and new filter and all's good.

Reckon a backward facing snork might be better for slow stick-fest trips.
