The vent on the right is missing the top cap piece. Which would make it look just like the plastic one. The two are interchangable. As for as  I know the plastic one is all that is available new.

There isnt any sort of valve, spring of check ball inside of it. All it is is a tube that screws into the axle tube with a cap on it.

Folks,

 

  According to the Parts book, the breather assembly on the rear axle for my 1961 BT7, was part number 1G3668.  There is a note to say that this was subsequently replaced by part number 1H3364.

 

I am guessing that 1G3668 was an original metal breather assembly and the later part 1H3364 was the plastic version which is freely available today.

 

Does any-one have a picture of the original breather assembly (1G3668).  

 

On the attached picture to the right of the new plastic version is (I assume) what remains of the original version from my axle.  I would be interested in understanding what bits are missing from an original complete assembly – or is it just as simple as it is exactly the same as the plastic version but in metal!

 

Many thanks

 

Andy
