I'll go out on a limb and say that the mould for the protoype was made from the wood plug. What you see is the computer router cutting the shape out into the block.
Aaaah!! The old "cast in wood" trick...Should have known...Video is a bit short to tell. Anyway when Stu has it on the shelf I'll be calling in. Sounds like he has some style about it.
You guys are wasting your time waiting for Murchinson. Other brands have had snorkels for ages. A mate sent me a photo of the new snorkel he's developed that will fit virtually any WK2 without modification. This revolutionary new design will allow you to remove it and fit it to almost any new vehicle you buy. He's already sent the design to Mopar to see if they want to offer it as a Mopar branded accessory in the Grand Cherokee range.

Thnx MissionMan, I've seen the Murchison Snorkel prototype and for me it hugs the windscreen and suits the profile of the WK2 better than this one. For me this set up looks a bit clunky.

I find that hard to believe. It's almost impossible to see this snorkel without a trained* eye.
*Disclaimer - by trained, I mean someone who has sufficient eyesight to walk around without bumping into things.
