hey seeming tho i have been searching for a while now for a how to diff braether thread i will post up my own now that i have done it.

materials.

about 7 metres of air tube(go to pet shop or fish place i payed $1 a metre for mine.

2 small air stones(got mine from the fish shop to about $2 each)

2 brass fittings from a plumbing or piping place. (like enzed payed $4 each)

just take your original brather out and match the thread up with a brass one at the shop that your air tube can attach to.

packet of zip ties. (cheap)

method:

1.undo your old breathers and screw in your new brass ones.
2.push your airtube over the other end.
3.feed through and zip tie your air tube till you get it up some where nice and high( i put my rear one on my roll bar and my front one up high in my engine bay)
4.attach your air stones to the end of your tubes.
5.cut off all of the sip tie ends.
6. i just made shore that all of the lines were free from moving parts and hot bits.

made my whole braether kit for around $20 heaps cheaper than bying one.

any one feel free to add any sugestions and ideas.

Went to sprints, got some brass barbs with correct thread, used 5/16 8mm fuel hose so if I need some spare hose, I can use them, (providing im not going wading on the way back). and some lawn mower fuel filters with a water trap so I can see any moisture that may develop at the end of the hoses.
And some hose clamps.
Most expensive part was the hose, again, around the 20 bucks mark for both front and rear.
