It looks to difficult to put on once the airbox is in the car but the a/c pipe seem to be in the way when trying to install with snorkel already attached. Any hints/tips?

I THINK I may have slipped the snorkel in place first, then slipped the airbox in and used the newly cut snorkel hole to fit a spanner through to refit the bottom bolt, then mated the snorkel back up to the airbox. The snorkel's a pretty flexible little item, so it wasn't a hassle manipulating it into it's new home in the airbox with everything in place.

Bit of a bugger that bottom bolt, but if the wife or kids have small hands, time to call in a favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
