Fuel tank breather pipes

[Bug67]

Hi, looking for some advice on where to connect the metal breather pipes in the engine bay. The pipes are currently open ended and not connected to anything with a large gap in the middle?
Presumably these are normally joined together and tee into the air filter. Unfortunately this is not currently possible as the bus has dual 34 carbs with no connection.
How do i safely connect the breather pipes back up to avoid vapour going into the engine bay.
The bus is a 71 LHD type 4 engine

Thanks in advance

Fit a tee and connect to one or both air filters.

Thanks for the info. How do I connect the pipe to the filter? The filters are on Weber 34 ICTs (metal pancake type filters) with no connections?

The metal breathers are currently open ended probably in line with each carb roughly. Would you suggest only one connection to one filter via a tee or can I connect one end of each breather to each filter? I presume standard fuel hole would be suitable?

Thanks again

Use these to connect to the air filter.

Thanks for the link. I have attached a pic below. I will see what size pipe is available to connect onto the metal breathers
