Yeah good point. It would be a waste to bastardise one if they are valuable on the second hand market untouched.
Better off selling it and just make do with an 18" cut and put up with a miniscule difference in catcher capacity.
Wonder if I should go to the effort to get the rear cylinder working again, helicoil two stuffed bolt holes in the aluminium that retain the metal engine cowl, and source the right snorkel and throttle cable for it, or just dismantle and sell the pieces?
Are snorkels from any other models the same as what this came with or is it unique? I was thinking perhaps the snorkel from the cheaper store brand low arch models are the same.


Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!
