savage bulldogs Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 My classic ones were 15 mm I/d I bought 3mtrs of "Ash" silicone hose,15 mm o/d 'T' piece and a 2 port eBay catch can . I 'T'd the cam breathers together for one port and ran the crank breather to the other port . It might pay to buy some elbows to allow you to run the pipes in the direction you need in your bay cos the ash hoses are quite stiff and not very bendy Cost about £60 all in to do my classic but check the diameter of the passenger cam breather on yours to make sure there's not a size difference . Here's a pic of mine to show the breather location and the stiff blue ash hoses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevell Posted February 6, 2015 Author Share Posted February 6, 2015 Nice engine bay , have you got a filter on top of your catch can , does it vta ? Or recirculate :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Cheers nevell Mine vents to atmosphere via a filter on top as I couldn't be arsed to plumb in a return to sump plus baffled cans that return to sump set ups are expensive (think my eBay can was £30 ish) so I just keep a eye on both the can and my engine oil levels . Only issue I've had with the position of my can is I sometimes get a slight wiff of oil as its close to the air intake for the heater/blower . I might run the vent line down the gearbox tunnel at a later date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
