TheBeastie Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Is there any best recommended route to take extended breather from rear axle to the engine bay - thus avoiding hazards such as exhaust, springs, bump pads etc etc. If it is just a case of making your own way along chassis (presumably using big cable ties) then OK but thought I would ask since it may save embarrassment later:-) Thanks Malcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Any perticular reason why you want to take the breather into the engine bay? When I got my 90 the breathers for the gear box, trans box and rear axle come up through the rear left inner light quadrant then up the door frame and out of a hole in the back of the roof. Although mine looks a total abortion, I think done properly it would look ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeastie Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Thanks - have got a new push fit manifold now in engine bay with intention of drawing all breathers into it and then, eventually, going up to top of snorkel. So need to get optimal route to the front avoiding multiple potential hazards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Sounds fancy!, well the best way is just to take them forward I think by going up left of the handbrake drum... you might have to make an opening in the box channel where the seat box connects to the rear tub, 12-15mm hole should do it, just make sure you put the hole as centeral to the "center line" of the aluminum as you can, then you're not taking any strength out the beam, doing this should keep the pipes well out the way of the exhaust. then "just" feed it through/past the gear box trying to keep it in the top of the transmission tunnel, the bobs your uncle, I think the best thing for you to do is try it...

landy V8 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 i just cable tied them to my loom along the top of the chassis and then up the front of the bulkhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Yep, along the top of the tube and up onto the off-side a-frame arm, along this to the chassis, then along the chassis (next to the brake pipe) and up the front of the off-side footwell to where the other breathers are at the top of the engine bay.

TheBeastie Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Brilliant. Thanks guys Hope it will stay dry long enough to do my crawling underneath. Best wishes Malcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I fitted extended breathers to a 90 that I also fitted a raised air intake to (Mantec) Pictures show how I routed the pipes. http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=44438 Les.

Aragorn Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Ye the first link works, it just takes you to a page detailing the fitting of a snorkel, and doesnt mention anything about breather pipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
