Oh i see what you mean now. This is my setup. Similar to sparky's but using a breather box as I have the same filler neck as you use.

sorry guys to jump in on this but i have twin ict's running sweet on a 1600 tp 009 dissy but i do not have the breather box thingy.

:?
should i fit the breather box like matt and sparky or will it be fine/fubar the engine if not fitted?
dont really want to screw me engine up for the sake of 5o nicka but then do not want to waste 50 nicka if it is not required,much rather invest in fuel or pitch fees and enjoy the van as to what they were built for :roll:
regards.

You'll blow oil vapour all over the engine bay from the spout on the oil filler, take a pipe from there to one of the air filters or into a breather box.

Hi,

So if the stub on the fan housing goes to a charcoal canister (usa models) if you haven't the canister, and you are about to fit twin carbs on a stock breather, but without the drain, do you set it up like sparkys with a bugpack, and just leave the stub on the fanhousing open, or blank it off.

Mine:

Interestingly, i bought a new breather pipe from heritage at expense, and it will only fit inside my oil filter tube vent, so whats going on there?

Hopefully all these questions in one place and we'll be sorted!

Cheers!

what size oil breather hose do i need to fit from this to the carb? is it 1/2" and what fitting is reccomended for the top of a kAndN (dellortos)
right angle prob best - any issues with nut vibrating loose inside air filter (loctite :?: )

It also tends to build an oily film all over the engine over time.

This I can confirm. And it doesn't take much time. I started a similar thread a few weeks back (thanks for all the advice) and I think I'm going to have to take one of the suggested options. The Bug Pack set-up (to both carbs) looks neat, I just need to confirm if the filler neck is stock or not. I will, no doubt, be back to ask more questions on this so apologies in advance!
