bolarbag Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 What is involved in fitting AN breathers like on Supradibbs/Paul Wiffins car e.t.c? Can you remove the stock cam cover feeds like just by pulling them out like on the water neck? Is it then a case of Drilling a sizeable hole for a suitable an connection(12AN)? Or do you have to have them welded up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 You need to weld the male fittings on - drop Paul W a pm he has a very good ally welder on board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchaos Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 they can be welded or bolted depending on the fittings you buy, better off going with the welding tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_have Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 There is actually enough material in that area to drill and tap 12AN, be very careful, its close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainchaos Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 weld on items are alot cheaper, busy doing some research with one of our suppliers here that does all our hydraulic pipe fitting etc gonna build my own kit up and polish the cam covers again at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Cool, just brought some -10 weld on fittings on ebay, now just need some good prices on the female fittings, the aeroquip stuff is fortunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolarbag Posted August 25, 2008 Author Share Posted August 25, 2008 I dont think it matters with the weld fittings, their all pretty much the same, obviously size dependant, I've went with Earls fittings though, Aeroquip are a horrid shade of red but still functional - all my fittings will be up for sale pretty soon as I've replaced all my aeroquip fittings with Earls If your buying Earls, DO NOT BUY DIRECT FROM EARLS UK!! Get them from the U.S, they change the dollar sign for a pound sign over here its ridiculous! I went for -12AN for the Cam cover breather hoses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supradibbs Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 (edited) I can get good prices on the fittings etc my advice is remove the internal baffles to insure no swarf enters the cam covers Edited August 25, 2008 by supradibbs (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
