right i started by removing the air cleaner and inner wing i removed the originaol air intake i saved the rubber 90 dergree end witch usally points to the head lamp area you can see in the pics that a 50mm straight b and q drain pipe fitting fits into the air into rubber really snug and with a libral coating of silicone its very watter tight, i then fitted the rubber 90 degree from the original intake pipe to the end of the newly fitted stump on the air cleaner i then routed the drain pipe in side the wing 3 no degree fittings and a 145 to bring the tube out of the wing and up the a post i made a small bracket with i rivited inside the a post and onto the tube i cut the original air intake so i had a nice 90 and ritted a robin relaiant heater filter to the inside to give me a safari snorkel stlye grill to stop leaves or sparows ending up in m y air cleaner i then siliconed all the joints and tested with easy start i used proper gutter glue to glue the pipe fittings together so i should be very water tight fingers crossed
