I have no other reference than the information I was given from Safari, and although I'd say there's more science to it than a "rule of thumb" so I guess that's a Safari rather than industry standard...but of course I could be wrong.
Sure, just wondering I guess. Maybe you could ask them on our behalf ? I'd like to know some of the details behind their reasoning / development.
I think Safari was just wise and thought it was too much work for the KJ one when there is already one on the market now. If it had been easy they may have gone ahead but the amount of R&D was just not worth the halved market now. Just makes more economic sense to cover what has not been done before at least first.
Obviously you're entitled to your opinion (what would this forum be without our own opinons ) and I could be dead wrong, but nothing I have heard from Safari believes me to think that they wont do a KJ snorkel now because Airflow has. Safari's choice to do the snorkel was made based on export market potenital, not local sales, and when the snag was hit in the R&D process, they were very adamant that it wasn't a "no", just a delay.

If they are basing the decision on the overseas export potential then they would have already done one. I rang them a very long time ago with links to the LOST web site. The Liberty guys have been crying for a snorkel for a very long time. ??????
Well heck, after looking at the templates and the pieces in the kit, i'm thinking this may take a little longer than expected to install !! Its all good though. Its a very comprehensive kit and the dummy mould that has the cut away's as a template is a must I reckon. The quality of the pieces looks top notch, cant wait to hack away at my brand new $53K + KJ LTD !!!
I'll most likely get around to fitting it this Sunday or Monday.
