GQ TB42 snorkel

[4X4MUD]

Guys, I wanted to ask a few of the smarter boys about air filter seals and snorkel question. I have a 1990 GQ TB42 dual fuel with the round air filter that sits on the top of the carb, Whats the best way to seal it so i dont get any water splashing inside the carb. The snorkel is sealed all the way to the air box just a opening where the top of the air box sits on the bottom tray that goes on top of the carb. Thanks in advance guys

Hi mate. Yeah the gas ones leave a bit to be desired hey? Check this link out, there may be a few ideas there: http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forum...Snorkel-setups

Had a look but no good for me. I need it for the round air filter that goes on top of the carb on the tb42

Thats the point, the factory setup with gas is pretty bad so its usually better to modify the lot.

Its sealed all the way but open around the air filter that sits on top of the carb. Might just make up u brackets and silicon them on...

Yeah I know the ones. Bit of a pain to get them to seal properly. The filter housing vibrates a fair bit so maybe just put heaps of silicone?

I have the gas ring above the carby with the standard air filter above - it seals ok,.

I guy in my club just fitted a millweld filter fo the impci mixer - looks mean - massive lump of alli on the top of the donk

i think i might make up some brackets so i can wrap the air box closed and then silicon it and that should hold it for a while... Anyway, if water gets to the distributor it will stall so should be ok.
