Diff breathers

[TheDocAUS]

Has anyone in Australia @TheDocAUS or anyone found a cost effective supplier of the correct M10x1.0 push fit connectors to go in the diff to accept the common 6mm hose that the breather kits seem to come with? I can find them online but all with ridiculous shipping costs, mostly from the UK.

Can you a picture or link.

If my guess is correct, it is a no from me. In the diff breather thread I listed a few Australian suppliers, which may be able to help.

If the UK link is Amazon UK, I may be able to help.

They make it hard with no search function, at least I cannot see it.

Well as I understand it there aren’t transmission or transfer case or winch breathers so I guess just 2 for front and rear diffs

Agree they don’t appear to have the metric fittings for those

What about this site (not sure the thread is quite right, but easy to search):
https://airparts.com.au/product-category/fittingbythread/metric/m10-1/

They also have full diff kits:

Close, but the thread looks like M10 1.5, we need M10 1.

 

[Shopkeep]

What about Enzed, this is taken from their fitting brochure and they have outlets everywhere?

 

[TheDocAUS]

Try them and let us know.

There is an order coming from overseas into Australia, but they need to arrive and then be fitted to make sure they work. Then I can say more.

I already have about 20 (more than I need), I am just waiting for confirmation they fit.

In regard to breather tube routing, what connection fits best for diffs, t-case and transmission? Straight or 90-degree?

This is an easy mod. And with my Gren sitting at the Port I want to have these bits ready to install on arrival.

Further to @ninetubes confirmation elsewhere (https://www.theineosforum.com/threads/out-with-the-old-in-with-the-new.12412945/#post-1333234286 ) of the suitability of M10 x1mm push fit hose fittings for the diff breathers.... I would like to clarify as to whether there is one breather each per F/R axle or are two fitted to each axle?
Can the breathers for the auto transmission and the transfer case be extended as well?
Also, how does one route the 8mm hose to the front ... tied with cable ties?
thanks in advance!

This is a common thing to do on Defenders.
There are even specific breather tube extension kits available.
Onnce you have converted to the 'push fit' system, a whole new world of accessories open up.
There are joints, direction changers and manifolds. splitters, combiners, valves and T pieces.
The world of multi coloured 6mm ID pipe allows a huge range of expression.
Search for "Pneumatic Fittings".

You can use tye-wraps/cable ties or you can use Airnets, P clips, air hose clamps, schläuche diversion Fluss Clip's.
The key is to route the breather to be above the expected waterline.
On a 300tdi defender the normal place is on the bulkhead, level with the top of the wing.

Beam axles nominaly have 1 breather, this needs to be extended along the rear A frame, up past the pivot point and along the chassis up to the 'manifold'.
The front runs along the axle, along the 'hockey stick' and up onto the chassis.
Gearboxes etc are easier as they don't move too much so the pipe can goto the chassis and up to the manifolds chosen point more simply.

Many thanks! The world of push fit fittings and 6mm hose used keep me awake at night... but that was for the EAS on a 1999 Range Rover P38
The beauty of the Grenadier is that when I view it in the morning I'm confident it won't be leaning on one side due to an air leak in the suspension!
