[Roadsters] Gearbox breather

[Pat Horne]

Marc,

Did you ever get a reply to this email?  I recall seeing someone on eBay 
selling replacement breather, but I don't remember who. My machine died 
last week and I lost what might have been a URL for them.

Having said that, when I rebuilt my transmission years ago I also had a 
broken transmission breather.  I found a plastic fitting at a local 
parts house that fit the hole in the trans and ran a piece of tubing 
that fit the fitting to a union that would match the small tubing to a 
larger size. I added several inches of larger (3/8"?) tubing and put 
some cotton wadding into it, with a couple pieces  small wire to keep 
the cotton from moving around or falling out. Last time I checked it was 
still there and the hole was large enough that the dirt dauber wasps had 
not sealed it up.

Peace,
Pat
