AZ BC Broncos diff breather

[toddz69]

City: Phoenix

Years ago BCB made a diff breather assembly (PN 28-50000) that had 4 inputs with a single filter on top. I haven't had a chance to ask them about it yet but I don't find it online on their website or any other mention of it anywhere, for that matter. I'm interested in purchasing one if someone happens to have one laying around their parts pile.

Thanks,
Todd Z.

I recall it being an aluminum block drilled to accept barbed fittings. Likely fairly easy to build if you had too.
But yes I haven't seen that item in awhile.

Poor man’s 3 in to 1, in case you can’t find one. Brass barbs in plumbing section at Lowe’s or HD will finish it out.

Thanks! That would probably work too.

It was either an aluminum block or machined delrin or something like that.

Will a Type I VW breather work?

I was looking at those too - with some adaptation it might work.

Thanks - that might be a good option! I was looking at things last night trying to figure out out to adapt the BSP fittings to everything but maybe I should just ditch those for regular barbed hose fittings.

You can get some really cool shrink on material (thinking of name) that clamps the hose on tight enough for 15psi+ .

I'll try to find it then it's a clean look without the hose clamps.

Let me know what you find - that sounds like those Gates/Napa heat shrink pieces that some hot rodders use for the ends of their radiator hoses. PowerGrip is the brand name, I believe.

THERE YA GO!!!

Those will work and look clean if you don't hide the breather(s) like I did. Also, there shouldn't be any pressure since it's a vent so if it takes a good push to get the hose over the barb you won't need anything.

You'll get a clean looking setup figured out. You don't run my bumper sticker that says "...cause pretty ain't enough". lol

tre4x4bc.com has a 4 port breather kit that you might want to take a look at.

Thanks - that is also a nice one. I saw something similar to that on another site a few days ago.

For the (lack of) pressure under consideration here you can just use male NPT fittings in a BSP port with a little teflon tape for good measure.
