Wing Top RAI kit
Afternoon all,

Does anyone know of suppliers of 3" wingtop snorkel kits of the type shown here

https://www.racpartsltd.co.uk/product-page...be-snorkel

I do like this one but I'm baulking at the £25 + vat postage cost.

I know I can make one myself out of parts but I have better things to do with my time than grind welds to a poor finish 😇

I don't want a bespoke item or have to try to explain to a fabricator, just something I can buy from a website with minimal hassle.

I've searched t'internet to no avail.

Any suggestions ?

TIA

Try looking for a snorkel of a Snatch 110, they enter via the wingtop

Thanks chaps, I think the Mantec ones are 2.5'' even if I could find a snatch item.

Has a thought, do you have exhaust specialist that makes systems ( instead of the off the shelf businesses).

If so they would have tubing of various sizes and the ability to bend to the angles you need. You could give them the plastic blank vent as a template to make and weld the replacement part to screw to the wing.

Just a thought.

I am guessing when the Snatch vehicles went from V8’s to 300tdi’s the wing top sections were binned for the side mount Mantec RAI.

Good luck
