Title: Breather box
Post by: gyles on March 05, 2010, 22:33:46 pm
Been having a spot of trouble with my bug pack crankcase breather box.  Been letting in really fine dust particles.  Not good for the life of your engine  :(

Anyone got experience of the best solution to a clean running breather box  ???

I like these ones from Gerd Weiser  (GWD). I can't found them on his site.
This picture I have from a dutch website who sell them.
Price in Holland: 110 euro's

I have a LanD breather from Lanny Hussey/Darren Dilley in Canada... similar to Weiser ones. Threaded for AN breather lines and came with 2 filters. Also notched to clear stock decklid spring.

Couldnt find just a shot of the bare breather but here are a couple pics in my car. Nicely tucks up behind the shroud. With decklid on you can't even see it.

I really like the breather box, and the oil fill.....do you think it will clear EMPI style cross bar linkage?

Why not have one custom made for what you want?  I had this one made for me, I think it turned out quite well.
