Defender Diffs/Transfer Breather Manifold Kit

Well, look what I found....

NUGGET STUFF | Innovative Extras for 4WD's

I had no idea that was up and equally no idea how it got there...the wonders of modern technology/programs :D

That was an early draft and I am hoping that a much more complete version will be up tomorrow.

Still shaking head!!!!

If you're not too fussy about the elegance of the finish, a length of garden irrigation hose from Bunnings can also be used to extend the existing breathers, although I'd recommend completely replacing the rear diff breather. Join with a short length of heat shrink. Terminate the hoses behind the snorkel and fit some little yellow sprinkler heads. Job done for about $15.

I did mine four years ago and they've been fine.

Yep and there are quite a few on ebay for not a lot as well.

Not even going to try to compete with those. These are designed to look as if they fit and to last forever with quality stainless steel breathers and machined billet body.

Personally I wouldn't be happy with the sprinkler heads as they are designed to let water out and therefore will let water in.

Not for everyone, but not intended to be either. :D

Well put, My effort of extending the breathers also looks disgraceful. I have some clear tubing looped around the A/C ducting in the engine bay.

Top job nugget! for bringing this to the market! I particularly like the 4 port jobbie which includes the fuel breather

Thanks Tomo. I'll be doing the Defender 4 port shortly. The first one will be going on my 130 :D

I bought one of the three port models earlier this week from Daniel (mulgo), very impressed with the workmanship and finish of the product.
Bloody good stuff Nugget!


Regards,
Mike.

Edit: and Daniels a top bloke too.

No need for any change to the axle vent after to fitting the maxidrive.

I have F&R diff vents , Transfer case vent , Gearbox vent as well. (4)

The push in connectors and pipe are readily available at the pneumatic, hydraulic and some truck accessory shops.

I'm resurrecting this as I have a question, what's the advantage of your kit as opposed to what others say that you need to put the end of the breathers at snorkel intake height? Since they are bonnet level, there's a chance they'll get dunked eventually, so I guess the stainless filters on the end prevent any water from going in?
