    Hose clamp but the elbow is super stiff plastic so I have a feeling there's almost no compression on it.

    ^^ This is kinda what I thought everyone was doing. Seems like if that doesn't work maybe put a couple screws through the pieces to hold it? :notsure:

    I wouldn't think those 2 pieces would move too much, maybe something is loose? :notsure:

    That's what I figured I needed to do next. Didn't do it the first time around for easy maintenance.

    You could use hacksaw and make a straight cut on opposing sides about 1/2-1" in length then clamp it. Size depends on how much compression is needed.

    I can check into that for you, not sure if the distributor would be down or not but it never hurts to ask! I'm wondering if you'll need to just cut a hole and slide the snorkel up through it and build some brackets under the bonnet? If that were the case I don't know why you couldn't use the whole thing.
