Mantec raised air intake D1

[Civick_Spyder]

Why is there 100s of Chinese knockoff plastic snorkels on eBay but never anything reproduced like mantec made. For anything. Seems like a lost opportunity. Anyway. Looking for some unobtainium hoping there’s a lead out there.

Try South Down 4x4 snorkels. They are closest ones fitting like a Mantec that I've seen and been interested in buying.

I have a bent up one.
You could probably make one easily if needed.
I can send you pictures/dimensions if you like.

I’ve seen the Southdown ones. I want to like them but I just can’t. I like that they are stainless but I can’t get on board with the look.

Making one would be a challenge in itself. But maybe I’ll have to look into it..... I had a Mantec on my old D1 that I sold to a buddy maybe I can take a look at his. Thanks.

Someone had one bent up and welded by an exhaust shop that looked the same, trying to remember where I saw it.

The shape itself is simple, one very small bend and then cut/welded at the bottom.
Like @ukoffroad said, exhaust shop should be able to knock one out. (which is what I plan to do)
Next thing would be the hose, i have one, and I have been searching around trying to find a hose that would work as a replacement.

Looks like Southdown will sell all the parts you need, including the flexi hose. Might be worth some bits and bytes to find out. You can get the stainless pipe powder coated if that's the look you wanted.

I'm also looking for any leads / info / measurements on one for an RRC...
Not so much a fan of the southdown- even powder coated.

Still scouring the internets looking for a D1 Mantec.......still can’t believe I can buy a knock off Chinese blow molded whatever but there isn’t one repro version of a Camel Trophy RAI.
If I could find one for my truck I’d look into reproducing another....cant complain about it if I’m not gonna try myself. I have access to some fabrication facilities and knowledge to consult.
If anyone has a lead on a Mantec raised air intake for a Discovery I’m always looking.

I have a Southdown. It is very similar in that it goes inside the fender like a Mantec. It is new.

FWIW, Southdown stopped production but Lucky8 still has some. The one I just got for my RRC is black, not stainless (granted the one I had on my previous D1 was stainless)

J'en ai un plié.
Vous pourriez probablement en créer un facilement si nécessaire.
Je peux vous envoyer des photos/dimensions si vous le souhaitez.View attachment 56108

Bonjour, je suis très intéressé par par les mesures, diamètre et croquis du plan pour faire mon propre snorkel pour mon bon vieux Discovery 200 tdi 3 portes 1991. Merci beaucoup

Hello, I am very interested in the measurements, diameter and sketch of the plan to make my own snorkel for my good old Discovery 200 tdi 3 doors 1991. Thank you very much

I think 200tdi diameter was smaller. 2.5 vs 2.75
