Thread: D2 diff breather insert size.

My D2a just has a flimsy looking red plastic insert which you push down to remove the tube. This doesn't look like it is a screw in thing like the brass one on my previous D1. Often thought I should look into replacing it but didn,t think anything was available off the shelf. Are you sure its for a D2?

I was told it was generic, supposed to fit all.
I've got the red plastic inserts too, I just need some sort of insert as they're pretty flimsy.

Sounds like you may have got the wrong info. I thought of tapping the hole to give it some thread to match a D1 insert but access to do this is virtually impossible since its on top of the axle. Removing the front passenger wheel improves things a bit but it just looked too hard. Altho' the present set up looks weak I can't say mine has ever failed.

Looks like I need to get some more plastic clips then

The part for the push fitting in the axle is FTC5085.

The LR hose is apparently 6mm OD, 4mm ID.
