That wouldn't be a great candidate for 3d printing. It looks like a simple cut extrusion? Might search on summit or jegs for hot rod door seals and look for something similar.

Anyone have the ZHP/CSL brackets to run the larger front rotors in CAD

Anyone have a scan of a CSL snorkel handy? I keep cutting up Haimus snorkels and it’s getting expensive…

I don't have one, but it would be very useful. It has occurred to me previously that it would be a fairly simple (in comparison to Bryson's knuckle or Heinz's front strut brace) project to recreate the original snorkel with a 3D printed body, the stock actuator and potentiometer, plus some hardware to have a functioning snorkel and flap for less than crazy money.

I can have a Karbonius snorkel scanned but I like the dexterity of the OEM/Haimus one. I might go take both to a professional scanner tomorrow.

Yeah I have a Haimus one for pretty much the same reason.

I have a scan of a Karbonius one that I can dig up for you tomorrow, if it's useful. I think the scan is dimensionally accurate, but I would for sure do some measurement validation against your own snorkel before trusting it. These consumer grade scanners really don't like thin walled objects.

Also, just FYI, the Karb and Haimus snorkels are not exact reproductions of the stock snorkel. They both seem to be clocked slightly differently, which puts the mouth of the snorkel a good 20mm off of where the stock one is (and of course they're both off in different directions).

How delightful 🙃 I'll be interested to see how I get on fitting it to Bryson's intake duct

Ha, that's exactly how we found out the geometries were different. At first I thought something was wrong with my car, but nope, turns out the aftermarket snorkels are off.

That would be great. I’ll have the Haimus snorkel scanned and we can triangulate a better fitting aftermarket snorkel!

Hmm, this scan is a little more noisy than I remember, but you should still be able to pull out the important geometry from it: https://s.digital3dcloud.com/space/f...8-fad9ae1ec8fa
