Hi Rich,
I hope that your contact has kept a drawing set of the extractors. Whilst I don't need a set yet, who knows when they will come in handy.

Having done that, I guess your not considering a river crossing in the near future, so can I have your snorkel, please.
Regards Rick.

Hi Rick,
Bad news, no plans, one off custom job, Good news the guy who did the extractors thought it was a good job to do, because there was plenty of room, so not as time hungry as a lot of his work.
(also due to the logistics of getting the truck to and fro, he had at the very least a week to do it. I supplied a manifold gasket which they had used as a template for the laser cut flanges, so all the parts were sitting on the bench before I took the truck in.)
I spoke to our local Mustang restorer (also fellow Jeep & Blitz owner) who put me onto the only guy in the area whom he trusts with this sort of work. Must be a guy down your way who would do similar work?
Snorkel remains firmly bolted in place, awaiting spring floods.......
Rich.
