BT50 Diff Breathers

Hey, I've got a mate whos just bought a BT50. Hes thinking about fitting some diff breathers. Anyone done this before on a BT50? The front diff is not exactly easy to get to

Getting to it is the least of your problems- at least one of the diffs has a non-standard thread for the breather fitting. We trawled round all the hose places (Enzed, pirtek etc) and no-one could match it. It's apparently a thread thats usually only used for bolts, so finding a hose type fitting is very hard.

I hate going to weddings because all the grandma's used to poke me in the ribs saying you're next, you're next. They've stopped doing it since I started doing it to them at funerals.

I have fitted Diff Breather extensions to my BT-50.
I got them from Billet Race Craft http://www.billetracecraft.com.au/
The kit comes with the correct adapters.
You can order over the phone (08 8532-4977) using a credit card, or send them an email at sales@billetracecraft.com.au
The only trouble I had was getting at the front diff breather.
If you use a ratchet ring spanner you will find it a lot easier.
