1275 breather

Post by stuupnorth »

i have a 1275 midget going into the morris over this week and looking for advice for the breather set up
it has the cannister on the front timing chain cover and one fitted to the block (i assume where to mech fuel pump would have been fitted)
rocker cover doesn't have a pipe for the hose
and im hopping to use a pair of 1/14" su's (looking to keep the old school look)Image
but the carb set doesnt have any way of fitting the breather hose to (if its needed)
could i vent the front breather to atmosphere via a filter??

Your twin carb manifold is all drilled and threaded for the fitment of a PCV valve as per the factory fitment.
Take the breather pipe from the front cover, join it to the block side breather and the single pipe to the PCV valve.
The rocker cover has a boss (just in front of the oil filler cap N/S) all ready to be drilled and threaded for a breather pipe if required.
