Default RAI (Snorkel) Prototype: Version 2 Comps











Granted, not the prettiest snorkel in the world - but its functional. Its a prototype; future versions will be mandrel bent so no crushing. This one will be powdercoated. Yes that's an actual Safari 'scoop' on top.

If there's interest I will produce these.

Feedback always appreciated. OK Mark Campana chime in now with your negative comments

Well, it would require a much smaller hole in the fender than the last one we saw. I think it's too tall.

First of all, blow me. Secondly the only bad thing i had to say, and its constructive, is this. The plastic snorkels look better since the bends are more smooth. But you said that will be a problem you are solving. Good for you. And paint would do a world of good, so bonus number two for you.

Ill be interested in seeing the finished product.
