[Diego]

The other day I realized that the "grill" on the top of the snorkel had fall down and It is lost.

Asked yo muy dealer and told me Ineos do not sell the grill alone, they sell the complete snorkel kit.

Any of you have has this problem before?
Any solution?

An old pair of stockings makes a pretty good filter. Not as elegant on a Grenadier Snorkel as it is on a shapely thigh. Hold it on with a piece of string or a nice garter. That will get the neighbours wondering.

Hello Diego, I mounted a different Snorkelhead because I wanted to skim off a certain Ram-Effect.

But on the buttomline the Snorkelhead was cheap and in fits on the tube with a little work.

Thank you!

I came up with this awful solution using a spare piece of plastic mesh from the henhouse, but not happy at all.

I do not know what is more elegante, muy piece of henhouse or your stockings.

Hope the fox doesn't get into your hen house. You could try a stocking over the top of the hen house mesh. That would give protection against large and small particles. I don't have a snorkel on my Grenadier but the stocking works really well on the air intake into the oil fired boiler in the farm office at home.

Ziptie can prevent future loss as per this post in thread 'Raised Air Intake Grille - Lost' https://www.theineosforum.com/threads/raised-air-intake-grille-lost.12415376/post-1333277762

I knocked mine and it came off at the top, I just put a blob of Sikaflex at 2 places now it's solid as

Please check the screenshot below. It's the part number for the upper section of the raised air intake. Maybe your dealer or another one can order just the part you need based on the part number.

If your interest trends in this direction, several companies allow you to upload a CAD software generated step file (.stp) and they will 3D print a part and mail it to you. For material choose Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate (ASA) which is basically a stronger, UV stable version of ABS plastic.

Hubs.com offers single part prototyping and lists Spain explicitly, but there are many companies that will ship to the EU.

Take a set of calipers to your dealer and ask them if they will let you measure the part or just measure your snorkel and design from there.

Various CAD software packages offer a free non-commercial community edition that often will suffice. I use Fusion but there are many others. The hardest part is learning the software not the 3D printing.

Thought I'd ziptie mine preventatively. Couldn't get the grille off! No matter, it's even securer now!
