Wtd: 13mm ID Oil hose or R1 breather pipe
nitram38 - 17/7/09 at 10:52 AM

I have just fitted an Oil catch tank to the Motaleira, just before the airbox.
I need about 6" of hose to connect from the tank to the airbox.
Preferebly it is the top section of the actual R1 hose as I need to have a 90 degree bend from the tank to the airbox inlet.

Can't help with the bend but I used clear polyproplene(?) hose from B+Q on mine. I wasn't sure about clear when I fitted it but it's good as I can see there's nothing going up it. I also put some rolled up mesh in it at the tank end to act as a condenser for any oil vapour to collect on and run back to the tank.

I remember talking to you at Newark about the mesh. A stainless pan scourer could be an option!
I'll go to B & Q if I can't get the R1 pipe.
So far the engine does not breath oil.
