Wanted: Busted/spare oil vent pipe (Valve cover to Air box)
« on: September 04, 2012, 09:44:38 AM »
Anyone have an old/spare oil vapor vent pipe?  Possibly one that they've replaced due to a stuck/busted check valve at the airbox?

The part I mean is the braided piece marked with the red line in this photo.  I actually just need the pipe itself (and end fittings) but will happily take the check valve (blue) too if still attached.



Wanting a spare to try out a mod.  If you can help, please PM me.  Thanks!

I'm looking around Joe's garage now.  I am sure there are two here.  One is on Joe's car, the other is on Dee's car.  Which one would you like?

That's a tough call.
Since the braided line is denoted with Red, take that from Dee's car
and get the Check Valve from Joe's since that is denoted in Blue
:D

Thanks Joe! 

GJ, you sure you want to be saying stuff like that while they haven't taken you back to the airport yet?  The one off Joe's car please :)

Why not just put a rubber hose and a couple hose clamps on it? Those braided hoses are a pain to remove.

OK thanks folks.  Received DBG's old vent pipe.  This thread is done!

More to come, maybe later, if my proposal works.
