Diff breathing problem, cure.

[brummiewedge]

Having put my freshly rebuilt and refilled diff in, a blast around Warickshire yesterday covered the underside and the back of my Cerbera in diff oil. It did this before the rebuild too, and i know a few of you guys reported similar woes. The rest of you prolly dont have enough oil in it!
I have cured it with a simple mod. You have to remove the offside rear wheel to gain access, take the breather out ( hollow bleed nipple.) replace with a 90 degree elbow (7/16th thread.), this itself will mean it cant simply project out of the hole, then also fit a length of pipe pointing upwards, then down so crud may not find its way in. I have been for a lengthy blast giving the diff a good workout, not a drop!

In the race cars we leave the breather nipple in place, jubilee clip a length of felxible pipe to that and put a brake resevoir bottle or simmilar at the other end, mounted higher than the breather. Any oil it spits out is returned back to the diff using the wonder of gravity
