Warning !!! was created by Gromit
Think twice before buying one of the cheap Jimny snorkels off Ebay !, I have had a nightmare of a job fitting one to mine this afternoon. I drilled the holes according to the provided template but it is miles out of line with the airbox entrance, also I have had to chisel away the butress from the top of the inner wing to make room for some air induction piping to get the snorkel & airbox to connect !!

So give it a miss unless your pretty good with the tools, I'm a gas engineer so it was not too difficult .

Seems rather brittle plastic and are a 2 piece unit bonded together, just hope it is watertight when it comes to deep water.
