    Calling Safari is probably a good idea. There are FSJs in Oz and they may even know which one is the best one to customise already. JAT

    I'd call Oz. I figure any outlet here will be a "sorry sir, we don't have a part number for your application" experience.

    If you go the fabrication route, take a look at how the snorkels are set up on the mil spec Galendewagens. It took a while to get used to the looks of it but now that I'm used to it I think it might be a good way to fab a home made snorkel. Ease of construction and all that.

    I have some eliptical 2"x 6" tube that might look good turned into a snorkel
    . I might have to split it and make it a tad wider so the LS1can breath. Ill have to give that some thought...

    Also, if going the fab route, don't forget that M715s had a deep water fording kit. Had both a snorkel and an exhaust setup.

    The front fenders/engine compartment is the same as the FSJ, the only issue you would have would be the windshield as they stand straight up on a 715.

    that is a great suggestion. [smacks forehead] didn't even think of that.

    Can anyone post up a pic of a snorkel'd m715 just so I can drool over it?

    you'll probably have to register to see that link though..

    It would probably work (if you could find one) as long as you don't care about it following the contour of the windshield exactly.
