@Mikey914 Per Jeff’s post are you going to make two new versions (correct length for up to 73 and correct end for 74+)? I have your current snorkel but haven’t installed so if you make one the correct length for 73 then I’m in as well.

QUOTE(Mikey914 @ Jun 15 2023, 06:24 PM) *

Yes we need to make the other version. I can see us doing that this year. My number 1 push is to complete our dash top molding. It is what is taking up most all of my time right now. I have several other items like the door pockets that are stagnated until I can break off some time to do this. I have made the drawings up and can do this pretty easily once I can break off the time to make the molds.

I'll even start up a GB thread to give me some extra motivation to push this across the finish line!

I will be making the one with the larger top at the OEM size.

The original "early " was made slightly longer to accommodate the 6 mounts better.

By all means if there are enough that want the OEM size as the tube is about an inch longer we can make them, but probably not worth retooling it.

Pardon my ignorance, but exactly where does this go on our cars? I will be replacing g my chassis harness in the next year and I'm sure that I'll end one.

Comes through the firewall at the bottom and pops up through the engine compartment in the front.

That is a very helpful video! Thanks for sharing. My plan is to replace my harness next year with one of theirs.

@Mikey914

Is this thing gonna happen? If not, then it looks like many of us won’t be able to have a replacement snorkel.

Yes this is still in the works, most likely 1st of next year, as I’ve been cleaning up projects that are still in limbo. This is one.
Will not be a huge seller, so difficult to recoup tooling and expense associated with it, so project is best finished beginning of the new fiscal year.

I think you’ll be surprised. But I agree you’re not going to pay salaries with this part. Regardless, it is needed by a great many of us since the “fits all years” is not all years.

The grommets fit my early 73 perfectly but the extra length looks like it will be a challenge to deal with. The late Brent Brock used what he coined a reverse foreskin method to shorten it to the correct length. I tried this without the harness inside but couldn't get it. I'm assuming presence of the wires inside will facilitate that. But you can see in the attached pic in situ how the extra length makes crinkles that will be difficult to deal with.

We had made the 1st snorkel 1" longer for those that had 6 mounts. That's what you are seeing there.

Why would the ones with a six mount need to be longer? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The distance from the hole for the wiring to the engine shelf hasn't changed with the addition of a six mount.

Cut it in halves. Roll an aluminum collar to size. Cut snorkel to length. Insert collar. Shrink tube outside diameter. Voila - custom snorkel.

Also try resto design since they are making 914-4 harnesses.
