BigMac1 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 My rear axle breather is blocked on my 90, and won't clean out with the airline. Basically I'm going to replace it and extend the breather so i thought i might as well do the whole lot and do it properly. I've seen the kits on eBay but i can get most of the bits for free through work, the joys of being in the 'trade' i suppose. What thread are the axle breathers? Are the G/box and T/Box the same thread? Cheers Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandyManLuke Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 the axles are 1/8th bsp, I used 6mm hose and push-fits. I believe the boxes are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve200TDi Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi, I'm new on here, hello everyone! I'm think of extending my axle breathers. I've heard some people using irrigation pipe from B&Q. Will this fit onto the existing banjo fittings on the axles, gearbox etc. And is this pipe gonna be alright, cos I'm a bit concerned about it getting a bit hot i.e. melting. Anybody had any experiance with this stuff? Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMac1 Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks for the replies guys. Steve, I'll be pricing the parts up later when i go into work. I'll let you know how much they come to and if you want me to get you some I can. Cheers Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
