What do I need to search for on the interweb for this clear reinforced breather hose used on swiftune's race car?
I seem to remember Mark saying that it is washing machine related but I can't find it anywhere searching for those terms
Cheers folks

Is there a suggested size for breathers? Can you go too big on a breather hose?

1" I.D.should do..
Oh - and make sure the outlet for one going into the catch tank has a 90 deg bend on it, or else you might end up with a alot of nice oily "mayonese" in the hose..

Cheers Ed, how do you mean a 90 degree bend? Dropping down into it, or on the way to it?

The outlet pipe should at an angle as shown on the rbackside of Swifty's rockercover.. If it's straight like the inlet one going to the flywheelhousing you might get on oil splash into it and this will turn into yuk'y white "mayo"...
