   id also like to no somthing about these!!
   
   Is it best to leave the original pipeing/clip on the top of the rocker cover and atach the oil breater to the pipe which usually clips onto the air box??
   
   Just if you take it all of you have the hole on the top of the rocker cover and then also a hole near the TB ??

   this is how it is on my old car after buying a filter, dont want to have to spend another £15 on one for the new one so the idea was to take standard off new car and put it on the old , just dont think i can get the oil breather attachment pipe thingy off without damaging it so i can put it on the 1.1.

   most decent airfilters have somewhere to route it back to inlet. it a cheap airfilter you've getting?

    Buy an adapter and just cut the pipe as close to the filter side as you can.

    yeah well if i bought an adapter id just rip it off like i did withthe one in the pic and have the filter straight onto where it came from , reason i wanted to try and get it off without damaging it is to save me having to buy another.

    Isn't it meant to go back to the inlet pipe so it creates pressure and oil vapour to lubricate engine components, I got the spoox hose when I got my BMC cos the breather is fed back to the engine.

    You can do it that way or you just a jubilee clip & mount the breather to that,the other end of the pipe goes back to your rocker cover.

    its formed plastic pipe mate so you wont be able to pull it off, if you want it to come off you will have to cut it. TBH id just cut it off and get a replacement from the scrap yard. or you could bodge the small filter to fit on the end but it would look abit shit

    i wouldnt be able to get a replacment tube off though without doing the same. is how the filter is attached on my pic above alright ? because i can probably get the new one like that.

    ok have put it like the one in the picture so theres a pipercross breather filter ( little blue filter thing ) on and the BMC , just dont trust the pipercross filter as cant see how it can give as much air as if there was just a pipe going to the standard one, is it ok how it is in that picture ?
