Checked mine out the other day, the 3 of them are steel pipe and enter the guard void above the front left wheel. Have no idea what's on the end of them but figure they are high enough. Be interested to see what you find.
I'm thinking they may best be left until I get around to a snorkel. I'll have a gander anyway.
