subseauk Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hi All I'm looking to convert my current axle breathers ( see photo link below) to the push in type connections if possible. I have had a mooch about the forums but failed to see if this has been done. Has anyone done this and if so where did you get the conversion bits from. Cheers Kev Axle breathers?

subseauk Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hi Guess i might have just found the answer myself. I found a website for Gwyn Lewis and his kit seems to include everything including screw in axle adaptors.!! Nice 6 way manifold as well. Anyone have any experience of these kits?

lynall Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Iirc the thread is 1/8 bsp but by the time you sort out the connectors a kit is probably the way to go Guy on e bay does the kits for series land rovers for £15 and i think they are the same thread I used 1/8 bsp 90 degree 6mm pushfits for my series 2 Lynall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandyManLuke Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 1/8th bsp for axles, 1/4 bsp for gearboxes, I believe. They're very, very standard parts, you will be able to pick them up very easily, for little money, if you look around. I've used pushfits and 6mm pipe on both my 90 and RRC project.

Retroanaconda Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I have nice stainless ones on my axles, they were a matter of pence from the local pneumatics/hydraulics supplier (Hydraquip) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
