Axle needs to breath or the oil seals will leak

I silver soldered on a tube bent into a "U" and crushed in the vice to restrict the flow

Nope, sorry.

Mine is very firmly fitted to my axle.

Just wondering/suprised how yours was missing.

funnily enough mine is missing too.

It seems the axel case is threaded so the breather would screw in.

I have a spare LR breather that is to small but could be glued in.

If anyone knows thread or part number for the breather then that would help (seems noone does.)
