Crankcase breather remote filter

Darren69 · 12-05-2020, 02:20 PM

I'm looking for something like this if something is available locally: -

https://motowheels.com/i-14918892-co...r-adapter.html

Which will enable me to move the K&N filter from the top of the breather valve to higher up, under tank or seat. The US shipping is a killer for such a small part; about £40 and they don't have any UK distributors.

good if them to include the engineering drawing so it’d be easy to copy :-)

Having the dimensions on the link (even in old money) I would have thought it should be pretty easy to get one made if someone has access to a lathe?

I'm not aware of any UK stockists, (the only european dealer is in Sweden - perhaps they can help). https://shop.nfracing.se/epages/nfra...jectID=7114432

Alternatively, as there's an engineering drawing available with dimensions, (presumably in inches), it shouldn't be too difficult to have one turned up locally, (maybe a lockdown project for one of our members

).

slob and Mark beat me to it - must learn to type faster!

...or even 3D printed in ABS.

Yea, I've been on the Swedish site and they don't list it. But I was thinking that some auto parts might be available. Yea I saw the drawing so the OD is 0.800" in old money which is what 20mm?.

This is for a VW Golf I think, but they don't give the size: -

I think I found what I need, just need to deciper which size I need: -

I'm a bit confused, is the size the OD of the connector or the OD of the hose?

just message them and confirm what they mean

I read it as being the OD of the connector with the lips being 1.4 mm larger - i.e. the description says:

"FOR EXAMPLE- THE 6MM DIAMETER CONNECTOR WILL INCREASE TO 7.4MM AT THE BEADING POINT."

I concluded that too when I read it and I think that's what they mean too but I read above that: -

Select your required OD (Outside Diameter) pipework
