Better get this story straight as Airflow didn't just start to sell them because someone told them what would work. I went down to their factory and they worked with me as I tried all their snorkels to see what would fit. Made up a cutting template and then got Roger here to try one out before they marketed the kit. The factory was involved from day one not just an after thought later.
I'm more than willing to spend time fooling around with bits of rubber and bendy tubes and having holes cut in the side of my KJ. But I'm no engineer so it might end up a bit more Heath Robinson (or Rube Goldberg if you're American) than Expedition Quality!
Gojeep, do you have a contact at the factory who'd be able to help us out?

I can set you up with the factory ( they are in Dromana ) and can try a heap of snorkels without having to cut anything. They have a bunch hanging on the wall for when they made the templates for them originally which means the part that normally goes through the guard is removed. So you can lay them against the guard to you hearts content and see how they look and fit.
