Wading Kits

rambo67 · Apr 18, 2010

I'm thinking of going off road more and using pay 'n' play sites . I'm gonna fit a wading kit but wanna know where to route the breather tubes ?

Is it a pain to fit or basicaly straight forward ????

pretty easy as faras i can see personally i am going to extend my standard breathers rather than pay loadsa money for some nylon pipe

just route them were the old ones went, then up the snorkel if youve got one

What size are all the connections for all the breather points? 1/8? 1/4?

off the top of me head 1/8" bsp

Tiz 1/8.

Have yu seen the price of pipe G? Its peanuts. Why rusk a joint coming undone?

thats why i int buying a kit i am extending (replace original and fit longer) using the original banjo bolts i'm not paying £30 for £10 of nylon hose

the banjo bolts often block up and dont flow that much air at the best of times.

the push fittings are much larger bore so if the axle gets a good suck on the will help to stop it vacuuming.

i thought the fittings wer 1/4 bsp tbh, but im not sure (just what i remembered from the ebay listing)

i bought an ebay kit for piece of mind, but now i would buy 4 elbow fittings, a 8mm-6mm reducer for the fuel tank, and 30mtrs of 6mm tube for about 15 quid, the whole lot will cost about 20 quid...

cheers, sam

1/4" bsp fittings!!!!!! thats the same as an air line fitting

Mr Noisy · Apr 18, 2010

yeah i know...

must be 1/8th after all then, because when i think about it, 1/4 is too coarse a thread.

anyhoo - the ideas were there!

All you need is enough 6mm pipe & 3 Pushfit Tee pieces. you can sweat the pipe onto the banjo union by sticking the pipe in boiling water to soiften it then push banjo into pipe. then connect both axle pipes into 1 tee piece below passenger footwell The extend upto bulkhead. do same with transfer breather into teepiece no2. fit axle extension into bottom of same teepiece. fit short length of pipe into remaining leg of tee. & connect teepiece no3 to the other end of pipe then bring gearbox breather to bottom of tee no3 then fit snorkel extension to las leg of tee no3 and your all done.

Should look like this
