mazfg Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 In relation to my previous posts concerning this pipe and modding it after fitting the spin on oil conversion. I wondered if it would make any difference if I reduced the pipe down to 15mm, instead of keeping it approx. 28mm pipe.This would make it much easier for me to re-route as my spin on oil filer won;t sit below the oil pressure switch.Any thoughts please as to effects it may have going from28mm to 15mm?Many thanks.
Pete Lewis Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 with our modified tube .my filter sits does sit below switch there's no problems and it is easy to remove from there I dont have a patern of the pipe angles it was all a bit adhoc.I dont think its a good idea to reduce breathing.Pete.

Pete Lewis Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 can you rubber some of the route ?? keeps bore area but allows a bit of squish an squash where things are tight ??on this old system the air enters the crankcase from this damn tube and vents outwards via the gauze filler capfound the flow shown in an olde manual schematic. must try to find it . not sure about the physics of how this works out .....,, if the engine is stuffed then I guess you pump smoke out of both Ha! Im not happy with the breather tube size on the ally RCover and thats ' going to be improved' as the filler cap is sealedas this was designed for the vacuumed breather of later models.its on a to do list ....Pete
mazfg Posted January 17, 2012 Author Posted January 17, 2012 Yes, good idea...rubber cooling hoses could help..... I need to check it all out later and go from there....
mazfg Posted January 27, 2012 Author Posted January 27, 2012 I've just modded mine, not quite the same as yours Pete, as i found i could get it down the side of the spin on oil conversion block and the bottom of the pipe sits just above the chassis member. Will post pictures of it once fitted too.
Pete Lewis Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 thats looking neat ,, glad the idea worked out Pete
mazfg Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 here it is fitted:It's all a tight fit and I have to remove the connection to the oil pressure gauge when i want to take out, get a new filter to the spin on conversion...
Pete Lewis Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 maybe we need to patent these for 1600's Pete
