Anyone have pics or tips for installing the 914rubber snorkel in a 4 cylinder? I picked one up in the Black Friday sale and just did a test fit before I snake that onto my wire harness. I know Mark made these a little long so they will work on sixes, but the buckle on my test fit won't do. What have others done to install these in a 4? Cut and glue maybe?

If the tubes went farther past the grommet and into the hole it would work better. |

If the tubes went farther past the grommet and into the hole it would work better. I'm still worried how it is going to look even with the wire in. I don't want it to be too puckered. I'm wondering if these might be better offered as a 2-piece kit with some adhesive. If the tube were long and could slip inside the upper grommet, then you could adjust the upper grommet to the right location for your car and glue it in place. Then trim the excess tube as needed. I know I'm too picky, but I'm the guy who color matches the heat shrink on wire splices and adds striping with a sharpie, even when the splice will be covered by sleeving.  |
