Brief Description:  Snorkel assembly

Tackled to snorkel assembly to the FM-150 fuel servo. Basically the servo sits further forward than the stock Bendix style servo so the snorkel won't line up at the top where is attaches to the air intake frame. Whay I did was split the snorkel by cutting slits along the corners with a dremel. The slits end up being rather long like 6" in order to get each side flexible enough to reorient it inside the filter frame. once it's cut, it can get trimmed and clecoed to the frame. There are big openings along the slits but these get covered with layers of fiberglass and epoxy. I added more layers over the entire top end of the snorkel to add back the stiffness.
