140.00 is alot cheaper than a motor rebuild when you sink it and find out you didnt have it totally sealed up. I have the triangle snorkit and love it, they include all the lines to extend your vents, etc. I have piece of mind that it was done right the first time with no leaks. It also looks good, almost factory. Ive heard too many stories of people building a snorkle only to find out the hard way that it leaked then have to re do the snorlke along with the 5-10 oil changes / possible rebuild. So what is cheaper to you? Go with the snorkit and have piece of mind that it was done right the first time.

No I dont work for them, but I will give my input on a good product when I find one. As for being totally sealed Yes mine is, for the airbox lid put some marine grease in the grove of the cover. For going into the airbox, silicone. If you want to make your own then use some flexible pool hose, then it will be one continuous piece of pipe from the airbox to wherever you decide to run it to. I went with the snorkit for many different reasons , one of them being that it is a tried and true product with no guess work. I could have built my own but as said b-4 too many stories of people needing to redo them for one reason or another. If you think you can do as good or better job than them then go for it.

the drain plug in the lowest point is an exellent idea, if water does get in you want to be able to get it out. Have you extended the carb vent tube as well? That is one that many overlook when they do the vents. I suggested the one piece hose so that there was no guess work on the angles of the pvc joints etc. I have built in ground swimming pools in the past and have a good deal of knowledege in hard and flex line, and sometimes its just easier with flex than hard pipe, that was the only reason I said use flex. It sounds as if you to are quite knowledeable with pvc as well.

Yes the triangle kit has the drain petcock. We used to use vaseline on the pool filter pumps to seal the covers of the pump, it needed to be air tight so that it could create a suction to get the water flowing thru the filter. I like the idea of pressure testing your set up. Your job sound interesting... bet you find lots of "treasure" when you open the walls etc.

They plug into the frame under the headlight pod. They can all be run together to just one vent, all except the carb vent, which I also recommend extending. Definately do the crank case re-route also, and dont forget about your fan, that has a vent too. All together there are 7 vents plus the crank case, also carry a screw or golf tee with you to stick in your carb overflow tube. They do end about the same height if not alittle higher than the factory snorkle.
