yep...there are a couple of them at ebay....but this seller hasnt specified postage abroad and the advert says:

All other bidders please email with FULL postcode before bidding to obtain an accurate postal quote.


but when you klick "ask question" and whatever option you tick:

its impossible to ask a question, ebay comes up with : "We're sorry but we couldn't find an answer for you. Unfortunately, this seller is unable to respond to your question."

maybe a one of you UK-guys can ask him or tell him that his ebay advert has some restrictions and he has to change them in his ebay.

Unless you are running standard induction system you are better off running one of these

Connected up as discussed on here loads of times.

There are 2 types of this breather one for the 711 crossflow and the other for the 681/691 crossflow you need to be sure you have the correct one as the block fitting is larger on the 711 block,
probably have both types in the garage if you still need one

exactly those crapy ellbows are the reason i search an original one.

those ellbows do not seperate any oil coming up and they are mainly responsible if the catch tank fills up quite quickly.

i cannot count anymore how many cars / engines i owned with such ellbows...and they never worked.

i ndo not want to start arguing about the pro and con of those ellbows.

fact is: i am searching an original breather can.

I've probably got what you're after at the workshop. I'll have a look when I'm next there..... but.... we run the small Burtons type breather elbows on the 750MC racecars and plumbed correctly we rarely see any oil at all in the catch tank.

Found one if you want it?

alfas - 12/6/14 at 03:12 PM

yeah...sent me a PM about the modalities (payment, shiping etc)

its the larger one (~24mm?) for a 711 block.
