Hi

I've posted to the "Intro's" forum if you're interested in my current project, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with a breather in a series 3 gearbox?

Any hints or tips on how to?

Thanks
Richard

Hmmm, didn't know that they needed one particularly.

Thinking of doing a lot of deep water crossings?

Ahh, it's there now. Sounds like a nice little (ok, not so little) project.

I suspect that it will look, and go, fabuously when you are finished.

As for the gearbox breather, I don't think that it is really needed. Grover has been abused by the army for years without one and has managed to survive thus far.

Thanks. I was out at Silverdale about 18mths ago and bought 3 breathers. I've done the f&r axles and was trying to work out why I bought the 3rd one. Thought maybe gearbox or TC, but can't see where it might fit anyway.

Just keep it in the box of spares in case one of the others break.
