Short flame trap breather

[Discopotatoes]

Is there one available, I'm sure I've seen one the same style as the breather on the drivers side rocker cover but shorter?

[Mr Haribo]

Yep there are shorter ones from the MGR V8
a quick look on Rimmer Bros I could not see it
let us know if you find one !

Could you change to a PCV Valve, as used on the Ford engines in TVR's?

the plan was to have one each side venting to the turbo inlets by the filters, needs to be shorter to allow a 90 hose bend on top so it doesn't foul the bonnet, looks like I'm going to have to make something

Is this what your after ?

I used a cut down standard oil filler cap tapped to take a 45 deg 1/2NPT to 3/4 inch barbed elbow on one side of mine - after reversing the covers, it just fits under the firewall at the rear of the driver's side - not a flame trap but vents to a catch tank with separator baffles, evacuated by the depression in the turbo air inlet and have had no issues

thats the monkey

I have a full height one on each rocker box, no issues.

This thread is turning into an excuse for more engine porn.....hopefully!

yeh, anyway, I used full height on both sides and used flexible hose out the tops to get acute angle without any problems. Took one to exit rear of car to avoid fumes via catch tank, and the other to the inlet of turbo to create some PCV.

15mm yorkie fitting, bit of solder, bobs your uncle

Well I managed to make this which finishes at the same height as the original but at 90deg
