breather extensions

[secretagent]

I need a pair of breather extension, can I just buy some brass fittings to make them, if so does anybody know the thread size? or are they only available through aftermarket and from what company? ...............oh forgot it's for a 75 fj40

I just took the cap off of the original ones and added some hose and zip tied it on. Works great.

it's some sort of metric thread, so chances are you'll be hard pressed to find a brass fitting. i took 1/8 npt which is real close and retapped the axle housing so it would fit. there's also a nissan breather, iirc, that will work... nissan part number is 38323-C6010

i just used brass 1/8 npt in to the axles cuz the brass is softer than the steel of the axle and will conform to the off sized threads. Also a 1 1/2" nipple fits the break block on the rear axle

i've got my breathers tubed to a stemco oil hub breather.

I grabbed mine off a set of fj60 axles

the fittings thread right in one is 90 degrees and the other is straight upand regular fuel line works great with theses fitting

only thing was that the rear axle (72 fj40 axles)had two breathers but i plan on plugging one off

my 65 axle has two breathers also...just looks a bit more level with two coiled lines going up instead of one.

On my '75 FJ40, I used these part numbers which I got from the LCML list years ago, look just like the one from the ebay above:

The rear: 90404-10013
The front: 90930-03019

To the best of my knowlege, these fits most fj40s with coarse spline breathers, costs from the dealer with TLCA discount should be around 10 bucks or less ( I got mine years ago from Stevens Creek Toyota in San Jose). I beleive the Nissan breather that works nicely with mini-truck/4Runner crowd are fine spline, so...

Oh, and another cheap trick I learned for the transfercase breather that worked for my '75 fj40 is: if you have one of those old stock mechanical pump, remove the input nipple from the pump and use it as the extension breather for your transfercase. Cost is nothing.
