Couldn’t decide whether to fit a snorkel or raised side vent for my Freelander. I didn’t want to spend a lot and bought cheaply, see buying links below. I got the parts ready for both but went with the side vent as the current solution, but the plan is the same for a snorkel, which is discussed and shown.
Here are the bits shown in the video from ebay or Amazon:
UK sites:
Side vents £8 or less eBay: ebay.us/iK0BUa
Flexi hose, 80mm £15 per 1m, eBay: ebay.us/EbONUb
Snorkel head £15, eBay: ebay.us/8OUq14
Aluminium pipe 80mm diameter, £17 eBay: ebay.us/IQoYY3
Pipe with 45 deg bend, 76mm diameter, £17, eBay: ebay.us/fS9k1q
Stainless jubille clips 80 - 100mm £7 for 4, eBay: ebay.us/M2S5Ax
Black etch primer £11. eBay: ebay.us/Sxrp4D
Aluminum angle piece, £11 Amazon: amzn.to/3dJGYLe

To get the 45 degree pipe to fit in the 80mm ali tube cut the end off with the wider bit and grind the edge down a bit on a grinding wheel. It’s a tight fit. Seal it on with polymer sealant.
