Hi folks,

I’m after an original or original style moulded one piece breather pipe as per 340r / 190 upgrades. (As well as original catch tank)

Any ideas where to source? It’s obsolete with Lotus, PTP advertise one but am I right they are no longer trading? I’ve done a search on here and Pm’d a few people who have talked about this before but no solution as yet. Would consider 2nd hand.

I see eliseparts do a kit but I’m hoping for something original. Failing that I can make one up with T pieces and 90’s but prefer the standard (albeit upgrade) look.

Any ideas on this welcome!

Thanks

Good luck with that one matey. They have been impossible to get hold of sinse I had a K series in my S1, which is at least 7 years ago. You could try these guys to have one made up like the original. http://business-directory.autosport.com/company/2792/highbury-hose-ltd?cid=87

I almost did this, but changed the engine in the end.

Seems excessive changing the engine as you could not get a hose :wink:

If needs must!

I think the Elise parts hoses from their breather kit would be a decent compromise. I think the whole kit looks really neat and tidy actually. You could run a hose from the drain plug back to the sump if you wanted to. I always had a return on my breathers.

Thanks for spending some more of my money. It is only my son’s inheritance.
