    Just done the breather mod but used 8 and 10mm
    chrome copper tube for the outlets with a
    ball o fix valave to let out the crap.
    took about 3 hours bit fiddly to get into place
    but works fine

    Thank you
    as i am in the uk the parts miht be slightly
    different but im sure the same can be found

    vent is 9mm oil breather off of ebay

    the copper tube is 8 and 10mm chrome plated used for gas fire instalation

    the valve with the yellow lever is a water on off valae

    the tube is soft and will bend easily but to get a
    decent bend the tube benders in the picture get a good 90 degree bend

    all joint are soldered

    if you need any more pice or info ill put them on

    If you cant get hold of a tube bender a spring that just fits over the tube will do the same thing and when soldering use wire wool to clean all joints and flux to get the solder to flow into the joint
    i could make em for you just the pipe work and you would just have to fit the valve and flter of your choice now i have made one you would just have to pay for package and post from uk about 10 dollars i expect
