Axle breather - Brass alternative

#1 Post by bazyerma »

Hi

Currently giving my rear axle on my 1500TC a spruce up and snapped the breather off. I bought the below on eBay because it think it looks a lot better and I now have a spare as well :D

Did you have to retap the axle to fit it ?

Thanks, I was well chuffed with it, and its a lot shorter so less likely get snapped off when I trail fit the axel while I mess about with the floor / Brakes!
