white90 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 yes got a reel of Tube from Derek Lane Air products in Exeter with some push fit couplings. there are more than the axle breathers to extend. Fuel injection pump/timing case/powers steering reservoir/g box/ T box http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=5096 http://www.btinternet.com/~andrew_marshall...k/breathers.htm see here for some tips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I got my bits from RS. 6mm nylon tube and stainless fittings to replace the banjo's. Also might be worth looking at extending the fuel tank breather. Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Another source is Hyphose, again 6mm push-fit nylon hose. Axle breathers are 1/8" BSP thread. I think the fittings were about £2 each and tube is 62p/m. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 Excellent idea, have you any pics buddy ? sounds like my kinda route :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumpyride Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 sorry moose are you saying you can get the banjo fittings for the axles in B+Q? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 No - they sell tubing & joiners though, so you push the old axle breather hose into a joiner and extend it with more B&Q hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
