I like your crappy photo, the strop pretty much covering the carb, useful Tom, like a perforated condom!

May have to go visit my local chav central car parts supplier. Or look for a smashed up saxo in the scrapyard.

Sorry but my bonnet is never open so I don't have a photo.

Just attach the standard round box lower down the wing toward the headlight and use the standard flexy rubber hose to go to the carb and have the inlet to that pointing towards whatever direction you want to run the snorkel pipework

Does Rockwatt still do those SU airfilter adapters? I have emailed him but never gota reply - is he still around? - I actually like that idea of Jordis of running the intake into the cab! is there any issues to doing that?

Only issue with the air filter in the cab is noise, I would get fed up of the induction noise after a while I think.

I went with a £5 filter and £8 worth of down pipe to make the worst looking snorkel in the world.
