I would assume the Rat would accept one knocked up out if plywood...
YES!!!I have Abarth snorkel waiting on making mold
Jim, I know you guys are joking. But actually one could start with something like that as a basic framework to create a custom snorkel. Obviously you would want make it a much nicer part. But that would allow a starting structure to build around; smooth it out, form the design you want, then make a mold off it to lay fiberglass into. Or maybe it would be easier to start with foam blocks?He doesn't use plywood, he uses man style schtuffs. Like this:
Here are two of Abarth snorkel, we have complete body kit but it is very bad condition and it is waiting someone localy who is interested to fit on car and repair all things and then we can copy all.YES!!!
Anything can be made, but for all custom cars is best to have car on which can be made prototype part, then it is making mold ( for this type of parts it is multi-part mold ) and parts can be made then.Andreav, I saw your fiberglass parts on your website. I wonder if a custom snorkel could be made with a opening like your roof vent scoop, sitting above the rear "Targa" bar and extends down to the engine bay. For a more modern style snorkel.

The one thing about 3D printing is getting a good surface finish. The've come a long way, but it usually requires the entire surface to be "body-worked" and refinished to get a good appearance. However it would be a great way to get the desired structure and design.
That flat to oval tubing is being used for velocity stacks for the twin IDFs.
The elbow is for my trick exhaust.
Everyone knows you make Carl style snorkels out of gutter pieces.....one on each side sticking out of the rear flare vents.
It's nice to know that forum expectations of my Xs are at an all time low, easy to reach for that bar.
If you can make a mold off one I know Mikemo has one in his garage.
It seems that there are more than one style of snorkel. I've got one that has a different base than the ones pictured above. It's very heavy and does have FAZA cast in.So what is the current state of availability of FAZA snorkels? I assume none are available and no one is making clones.
