| The reason that I made this snorkel was not so I could constanly go into deep water,
rather to vent the air intake to a higher place incase I end up in water past the hood latch.
The following design is NOT fool-proof, and is not recomended, but if you decide to follow these steps,
remember that you are doing so at you own risk.
|
| I used 2" pvc piping, One 90 degree joint, and two 45 degree joints.
I started by cutting the oridinal end off of the air intake. Next I removed the itake
resivoir behind the left headlight. I then started cutting the holes for the tubing.
|
 |
Here is the first hole. I removed the air intake box from behind the light.
Then I took off the fender and cut out a hole in the front of the engine compartment wall. There was already a hole there, which was used for running wires.
I simply took my Sawzaw and went at it until the hole was the right size.

The second step was cutting a hole in a space below the widsheild. This is OPTIONAL.
Some guys simple route the tube back into the engine compartment.
For example:Allen Jensen
, I on the other hand like to be different. Either way works fine.
The hole is approximately 2 1/2" in diameter.
|
 |
The third step was to test the size of the holes
bye putting all of the tubing togehter without glue.
|
 |
This is a picture from inside the engine compartment.
You can see that the original intake is about 2"in diameter also.
For the moment I used a wire tie to hold it together. The original intake tube was located between the radiator and radiator overflow resivior.
Obviously a voulnerable place for water to get sucked in.

And here's the final product. |
