Made a snorkel shield today. Going to see if it will deflect rain away from the inlet hood.

Indeed. I need to take the metal I used and put it thru a roller to give it the contour of the inlet hood.

Still trying to source a clear deckplate but it works for now. I also found a way to "block off" the inlet pipe to prevent water intrusion.

Update, 27MAR12

Found a rubber Air Brake Chamber Pancake diaphragm at Napa that works perfect to close off the intake tube to prevent water from coming in while I'm just street driving. I leave the diaphragm in the filter box so it's an easy conversion. Just unscrew the deckplate and install the diaphragm.


I also added a small aluminum fairing to the front of the prefilter to divert rain away from the bottom of the inlet.

Right now the box is out until I can figure out what to do with it. I'll have to enlarge the hole in the fender due to the 3.4 filter box input not lining up. Then I can attach the snorkel.

I finally got my clear deckplate lid.


In this shot you can see my new prefilter on the snorkel stack.

Well the 3.4 has been transplanted and the snorkel has been adapted to the OEM filter housing. I have no need for the filter box that started this whole thread.

PM me if you're interested.
