The manifold with 6 outlets/inlets is for: axles x2, trans box, gearbox, timing case, and then one outlet up to the snorkel? Hope that makes sense

Just be careful as the uk suppliers are selling them with 8mm outlets(2) and 6mm inlets(4) which means you either have to buy a pce of 8mm tubing and 2, 8-6mm reducers or as I have done order them from China?
Which are all 6mm?

ive got some 6mm pipe im just guna buy 1 ov them 5 into 1 connectors.2 holes for the axles 1 hole for the crank case then join the transfer box and gearbox 1s together seein as tho there rite next to each other then into 1 hole.which leaves 1 spare to then run up in the back of the snorkel.sorted for £5.50
 
I put gearbox & Transfer box into a 2 into1 and run a single tube to engine bay then run both axles into engine bay and put em both into another 2 into 1. Then put the tails from, those 2 x 2 into 1 connectors. into a 3rd 2 into 1. which leaves 1 pipe to run up the snorkle.

Ain't you missing a breather there?
 
Adam, you need a wading kit because: axle cases when they hit cold water will create a vacuum, sucking in water, mud and all sorts of stuff. gear box and transfer box will do the same, the vent pipe is there to allow expanded hotair to go out and air to return when cooled.
the bellhousing and timing belt cover will need to be protected, this is better done will a romovable (wading ) plug, put it in when playing and take it out when you finish. this will allow oil and dust to drain out and also the water that will inevitably get in these area's.
If you want a kit that will do all this, with as many vent points as you need, PM me and I will sort you a high quality kit ata good price,

theres actualy a thread on here explaining y u need 1

no there's a thread that explains why some peeps think you need one. I have never fitted a breather to my timing covers. in fact I hardly ever fit a wading plug to the timing cover. I've never had a timing belt fail yet??

So Why do I need a timing cover breather????
