sikiaflex..........
So having just had snorkel fitted yesterday I should seal with sikaflex, I was hoping it was sealed
when fitted.
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
No, I have heard a lot are not water tight. It has been said if its not in the instructions, fitters don't have to do it? Not saying this is the rule, just what I have heard.
When I got my snorkel fitted, he did a great job! After cutting and drilling he filed everything then painted everything.
As he fitted the snorkel he gasket everything. Afterwards he went around and checked all the seals. Used locite on everything and was very neat and tidy.
He spent 3 hours fitting and going over the rig explaining everything. He said he can do whatever I wanted or he can do what is really needed. He set me straight on lots of things and we agreed the work to be done is what he would do if it was his.
Got no worries! My snorkel is air/water tight!
is there anywhere were you can buy safari snorkel templates from
Sikaflex. I just installed a snorkel today on my Y61 with a ZD30. Pain in the ass to work on but I got it done in the end
It says use Sikaflex or any polyurethane sealer. I checked the seal between the snorkel duct and the filter box. It looks good, I just hope the one further up the bend is good too :S
