Breather pipe insert - Page 2

handyjackdaniels · 16th February 2022, 09:35

Its not the breather pipe or tee piece i need to replace, that is fine, although replaced as it was split and taped up when i bought the car.

But thanks for the post!

Ok sorry, my mistake there. When I made up that caravan pipe, the insert in the body was ok, as was the end of the breather pipe. I had to cut off the broken pipe, and fit the blue one instead.

Is this one any use? (9mm tube x 1/4" thread) Probably be able to remove the insert.

cant you remove the old black plastic insert completely , and then insert a short rubber cut off a hose or similar. ? i think if you get the dimentions correct it should hold the tube ok. its soft so should accept the pipe. are rubber olives or grommets an option as well ? just a few thoughts to mull over .

does that mean you have got one now ... ravinder to the rescue ? ...

Thanks everybody for suggestions and replies, I spoke to the guys at dmgrs and they had none of the inserts and no way to source them, they had a throttle body sitting around and offered me that, which had good inserts to it, so I bought that from them.
I know it costs more, but at least I’ve got a spare throttle body if I need!
Thanks again all!
Steve.
