I would like to fit a 'Hart' breather to my cam cover.
I know they are available from one or two suppliers but I'm not going to pay ?55 for what is essentially a plumbing fitting!!
Could anyone direct me to a suitable off the shelf fitting which will do the job and, also, suggest the best location to place it on the front of the cam cover?
Cheers

When I took my breather off , just fitted a brass plug..
but before that just had a 22mm compression elbow screwed in ( just the elbow ) with a 1" pipe leading off to a catch tank.

I took exception to the cost of the 'Hart breather' as well and used a cheap alternative like John Clegg-my head had been fitted with a breather in this location in the past so it already had the hole:
It works well!

David/Mike,
Where did you obtain the fitting please?
I've just rebuilt my engine due to oil leaks and I want to do all I can this time to try and make it dry. I don't like the idea of the rubber oil drain tube being the only crank case vent
Cheers

Do I have this wrong? Surely a breather should be a larger bore?

Do you have the full length shaft in there?.spraying oil onto the breather ?
