Peter Truman Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 When ever I see that breather assembly I wonder what tortured mind thought it up! OR a bit of artwork, ain't Yorkshire joints and pipework the most useful things, I've used them on the Vitesse heater inlet/outlets to install a bleed valve and change the pipe direction so alternative rubber pipes can be used, on both the Spit and Vitesse the under manifold cooling pipe was replaced with annealed copper and at the back of the engine for bends and tee's to connect to the manifold heater pipe and heater connections, on a Jag XJ in the mid 80's when the heater core failed and had to be replaced so as to avoid having to remove the whole heater, only the core, but I had to cut and refix new inlet/outlet pipes. I saw a kit recently advertised for making exhaust extractors that consisted of multiple and various plastic pipe type fittings that you could assemble into a one off fitting exhaust arrangement then use to copy in steel, very ingenious!
