There are two types of flanges.. one is scolloped between the bolts to allow for LR alloys.. one is not.Quote:

Not Scolloped, and not LR alloy friendly.

That said, I tried to fit boost alloys from a Td5 to my '86 110 County and they wouldn't fit over the standard flanges..
Just be careful using tape.....the thread are a tight fit you want to make sure you can remove the nut ie doesn't binQuote:

Clintox, bin the thread tape!
Clean the thread up with metho first and red RTV silicone. If the breather is clear problem solved.
Deaf and Dumbers don't bugger up threads, do we? :)
Why? I had Loctite master thread sealant on there. Even thought it doesnt go hard it was an absolute bugger to undo the driveflange nut. Since going to thread tape I can undo the nut that bit easier. No leaks, easy to clean up etc. RTV is not the answer to absolutely everything.Quote:

Why? Thread tape is not designed for oil or grease applications.
If it's working for you that's great.
RTV silicone is not Loctite, it's silicone and it's pretty easy to undo, especially if your a plumber.
Did I say it was the answer to everything? no.
Did I say it was the go for drive flanges, I would have at least 100 thou on 4 in my shead that say yep.
Only saying what worked for me.
haha, have to ask, why does being a plumber make it easier to undo than someone else?Quote:

This may be a silly question, and apologies as I'm new to all of this, but where does one find this breather?Quote:

Locktite 567 thread sealers use teflon in their compounding too and are designed for petrol/oils/gases ;)

I did think it was strange that they haven't leaked before though, they have been on for a few months.
