His rubber is from a UZS131 Crown by the looks of it, but cut down to angle off at 60degrees instead of 90degrees.
You are spot on, all I did was lined it up where I wanted it (the angle) by holding it above the inlet pipe and tightened up the hose clamp around the hose then just cut around the pipe next to where the clamp was. Wasn`t certain that the size of the pipe would be right in the corner, it was a bit tight to get on but not over the top.
Twisty the adaptor and the filter I just bought at Autobarn, its only a cheepish setup but will do for now. As like I have said before I plan on reconnecting the snorkel after it is regoed again.
Zuffen, I know you have said it will throw away some hp but I do plan on getting the box modified later on and trying it. For now but I will have about 100kw more at the wheels then I had with the turboed 2.8 diesel, once I get reused to the rig and where its breaking point is I`ll then start playing around with things to see if I can get more power. I just want to get the P of S going again so a few things are getting done the easiest and quickest way for now.
I today set myself a dead line to have this thing finished by mid March (might not have engineers and rego done then) by talking to the 4x4 mag photographer and organising with him to at least do detail shots of it before I take it out and start bending, scratching and breaking it. We will then be doing driving shots of it on possibly the 1st weekend of May, if not sooner.
This weekend the tray gets painted and hopefully dropped back on, if another mate isn`t buisy we will also finish the wiring and install the fuel pump.
Then I`ll just have
Put interia back in (one nights job)
put glass back in.
2 doors to get and paint.
Castlemain Rod Shop rear sump, have spoken to them and it is just under $600 with pickup to suit but is change over on my mid sump pickup.
Exhaust
Get my new tube front bar (gotta love sponsors as he is going to make me a new one even though there is nothing wrong with my old one, its just that he has changed the design a little bit)
Check front diff out.
engineers report
rego.
Sounds easy when said like that lol
