Hi,
I am sourcing a tappet chest cover with attached breather and have come accross these:
Both have been removed from Morris Minor engines, I recognise the type on the right but is the one on the left also originally a Minor one?
I ask because of the difference in the canister angle.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Mike, Phil (pgp001) will no doubt know, he modified a few for members, I Initially sent him a Mini one which he told me was different.

The RHS one looks to be for a Minor, the canister sits vertically when mounted on the engine.
The LHS one looks to be a Mini one and the canister is canted forward, these do not fit a Minor and it will interfere with the bottom radiator hose.
If you decide to fit one, I can modify it for you so it can be stripped down and maintained, most of the one I have modified so far have been well blocked up with rust and oily crud, and would have not worked very well.
Send me a PM for details if you want one doing.

Thanks Phil,If you decide to fit one, I can modify it for you so it can be stripped down and maintained, most of the one I have modified so far have been well blocked up with rust and oily crud, and would have not worked very well.
I have been looking for a spare, to then ask if you would modify it for me, that way I don't have to take the car off the road whilst it's done.
I will get it and be in touch.
I thought the left hand one looked too big to be from a Mini though? Apparently it was removed from a Minor.
Best wishes,
Mike.
