Any of you guys know about these...? Looking for a high level intake/snorkel for my 461 after a close call on Salisbury plain Sunday [ muddy water just entering 'aardvark' spout ]
Schmude-hardtop.de have nice ones but are 500 euro+ to uk - hard to justify when disco ones are £110 ea.
Maybe someone has one surplus at the back of their garage ? [ I live in hope ha ha ]
Regards to all , Tony

Re: Snorkel

 Hello Tony,

ORC  charge a similar rate for their snorkels on W461's and G's in general.  If you are not fastidious, why not fit a Landy snorkel to a G-Wagen?  It  does mean making a hole to match the Landys fittings and matching the pipework to fit the air filter.

I have some enquiries pending with some other suppliers but I not hopeful.

Regards,

mark

Re: Snorkel

 Have forwarded this to Howard who may have a spare one.

But he does like collecting though, I think he wants to make a necklace out of snorkels.  :)

Re: Snorkel

GWOA members (ie, have payed the £25 subscription) get a larger quota of storage.

Basic forum members get a limited quota.
