Thanks Alistair. I'll google that.

I changed the non stock filter box mount angle, located a new drain
hole on that box, sealed the hose to snorkel join with red RTV and put
a makeshift cover over that join. Tire inner tube type material with
cable strap at upper end might work well here?

IIRC, the OE sort of cardboard hose is a tight fit to the snorkel so
likely makes a better join than some types of 3" wire reinforced hose
and hose clamp.

Apologies for the OT thread hijack!

Neil.
