How will you get the water out of it when it gets in? :dunno.gif Maybe mount it horizontally and have a T just before the check valve with a ball valve on the drop leg. Just don't forget to close it again before riding.

Title: Re: check vavel for my snorkel Post by: jwscroll on September 05, 2005, 06:35:51 AM Not sure you want to put a check valvein your snorkle, it will restrict your airflow if the airbox creates enough suction to even open it.

Bottom flex I cut open on one side and wrapped it around pipe for two reasons.1 to prevent the snorkel from falling back down the hole, & 2 to protect the pipe from the bracket.

Stay between the inner fender and the oil cooler. Doing it this way did prevent me from reattaching the little rivet right there.

Title: Re: check vavel for my snorkel Post by: jwscroll on September 06, 2005, 08:54:25 PM I got some metal repair tape from Autozone. I haven't had any problems yet, just be sure the pipe is snug against the frame.
At the top of the flex connect on the bracket you'll notice a thin white line, this is the threaded connector I used to accomplish what you want to do. I glued it up with pvc primer then cement, but primer not really necessary. Be sure to use some teflon tape on the threads, do not put a major amount of torque on this connection just snug it down. Too much torque and you will break yuor glue connection and make it nearly impossible to remove.
