First I bandsawed a round circle out of some alum plate, Then chucked it up in a lathe and counter bored a step for og nut for stock breather. Then machined a small step in stock nut to locate 356 tube on stock flange.

After everything fit I bolted all together and scribed outside of 356 flange on alum adapter plate and bandsawed to scribed line and grind and filed to proper shape.

Hey Danny, I like your flange idea... Did you taper some angle in the flange to allow the filler to sit more upright(otherwise it leans over to the right quite a bit). You could also just cut the snout on the stand and weld on the flange.   Test fitting down pipe:  |

The method Danny used is just how I am doing my mounting for the oil filler I have....Too bad mine isn't a 356 oil filler!  The "bandsaw, grind, file, and polish" method isn't very productive or as neat as the Milling/lathe machining processes, but I sure appreciate the end result more after putting in all the hard work! BTW, you do some really trick stuff Danny! Andy |

Test fitting down pipe: Hey Gavin, I think your breather was the most talked about item on your car at the Classic last year, Love that engine bay! |
