windscreen washing system after snorkel

[werd]

My snorkel install was similar to JJ's. Mine was a cheap ebay snorkel, so I cut the elbow off which made the outlet to go in over the shock absorber mount to attach into the back of the airbox. The piece I cut out, I siliconed to the front of the airbox.
Doing it this way allowed me to keep the washer bottle where it was.
What I did with my washer bottle, to keep it in the same place, I cut off the required amount that was needed to make it fit in the factory position. With the bit I cut off, I cut the end off that and siliconed it to the end of the washer bottle.

Mine is a cheapy also, but I cut the existing outlet off and made a new outlet in the same location as JJ's. Nowhere near the washer bottle.

thats what immediately jumped to mind comparing prices.

how did you cut & join the exterior section, so that it was neat and dustproof?

Still trying to get my head around putting up pics.

It wasn't easy. Making it waterproof was the big concern. I initially used lots of silicone but it leaked. recently I cut a hole in the side and filled the holes with builders mastic. All good now. I'm sure with a lot of care it can be done right the first time.

looking at your install pic, did you use similar to the pictured kit ?



seems it would be possible to cut & block the outlet end, and bore the hole further up the horizontal section..it looks like you did this?

I may well end up fitting a cowl induction, mine is a '96 with the flat, stock resonator, which I want to eliminate and fit an alternative

The one in the picture looks very similar, and yes thats what I did. The trouble is that the pipe going through the bodywork is not a right angle with the outer section, meaning you can't just join it with a flange and push it through and hope the angles line up.

A cowl induction would be a lot easier, but, I've heard they are a bit noisy in the cabin, and they don't look as good. You could screw on a dummy one on the guard, only you would know.
