Anyone know where I can get an aluminium box to replace the standard Berg breather/oil filler box, which is far too heavy a grade of steel to just catch air.
I hear Tim Tesnow in the States may do them, anyone have a contact/email/website for him?
Cheers

Hi Phil, I think Don Bullita (Donny B. on here) has Tim Tesnow's details, and definately Sil Modesti's number. A mate of mine in the west midlands has made his own breather tower, and I think it's an aluminium one. I'll send him a text.

Line off the bottom tees into valve covers. Sil Modesti wil make it any way you want. |

"Line off the bottom tees into valve covers. Sil Modesti wil make it any way you want." Thanks, but I still do not see where it breaths. Ok, so it can have as many intakes as you want but where does it let the air out, the little hole in the cap?

I think that the polished tube has an opened end just like VW originally did it many years ago...

Hi all, many thanks for your responses. I looked at CSP's website and couldn't see a tower box like the Berg one. Udo yours looks great, but yes I would need to have a top tube to put my Berg beather cap on. Perhaps Sil could make one like that.
Joe - this is just for street mode - of course there's plenty kilos to come off in full race mode. Also looking at a vacuum pump for race mode, apparently there's 10 horse to be gained!
Cheers
Phil

It breathes from the 90 degree fitting at the top of the breather...
