    CSL Snorkel Flap Seal

    Hello Members,

    Was wondering if anyone has replaced the seal around the flap for the intake using aftermarket solution/seal. Mine has deteriorated and disappeared and now there is a gap at the top and bottom of the flap not sealing it up.​

        That would be amazing. I'd be willing to pay you for this of course. Although since the original has disintegrated i dont have one to send you to scan...

          Hmm, that geometry will be tricky to print, at least on a printer with only one extruder (i.e. no easy to clean up support material). It's definitely doable, but I wonder if maybe printing a mold and casting it in polyurethane (or similar) would work better.

            You guys have 100% more knowledge than I do in this matter, what you say also sounds like a good idea. If someone is running flapless can send in their flap with the seal intact would that help? I would but as I said mines disintegrated already.

              Ideally we'd need just the seal to get the profile that interfaces with the flap correct. Alternatively, both a flap with the seal intact and a flap with no seal at all would also work.

                I can always remove the flap on my own car and send it to you or mail it to you when im visiting the states.

                Ideally if someone in CONUS has a flap they can send you, of course, that would be more ideal.

                  Scanning yours with the disintegrated seal would be very useful. I know of a couple people with flaps here, so should be fairly easy to get a scan of one with an intact seal.

                  Send me a pm and we can work out how to get yours over here.
