Dowser Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Im pretty Sure Safari Snorkel's makes one that would fit a Pathy. I took a look at their Web site a little while ago and you can shop by vehicle model. Don't have their home Web URL handy but look up Safari Snorkel and Australia. No Idea how much it would cost for delivery but they sell for about $350 or so. Dowser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I believe the point here is that he wants to try to MAKE a snorkel for his R50. Robert, I don't anyone here has made a snorkel for their their R50. A few have done it for the WD21 so you may be able to borrow some of their ideas and adapt them to your own truck. I don't know the R50's well so I;m not much help. If you are handy with tools and mildly clever, I'm sure you could figure out an acceptable one. Let me dig around and see if I can find you some links for ideas. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Robert, here is some info to get you started... http://www.jimbennett.net/home_made_snorkel.htm http://npora.ipbhost.com//index.php?showto...4022&hl=snorkel ibstillaweiner made this one receintly, you can PM him for info... http://npora.ipbhost.com//index.php?showto...5663&hl=snorkel Again, I don't know your air box configuration or what room there is under the fender on a R50. Keep us updates on what you do and take some pictures please, I'm sure some people will be interested in a write up. Thanks and good luck Robert.

Precise1 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Yes V6, exactly ! For some reason I thought a snorkel was available, but I'm certainly not sure, and as I dont own a R50, I'm not going to try to look. As long as Robert does some research, I'm sure that he will be able to do a nice job. It is not that hard to do; making it look decent is... I've been teaching myself how to form UHMW Polyethylene sheets into skid plates. Same thing really... Some time, effort, learning curve and a finished product. I look forward to seeing what he does !

Pezzy Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 How much was that R50 worth? meaning what?? His truck is about use, not looks... it's not a off-road fashion parade. I'm not saying I'd do it to my truck (typical girl here - I want my truck pretty!)... but it's an option if you're willing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
