You can buy the timing belt cover plate with the fitting already on it, like these:

I cut a new plate and welded a 1/4 BSP (I think) fitting to it, sealed it with tiger seal, jobs a goodun.
Dave, I don't really know why but with the wading plugs fitted if you go into deep water it will get into the timing chest maybe air expanding and contracting? If I remember right the crankshaft seal on the cover is only felt so its not going to need much suction to get past that. I am certain that since fitting the breather there's no water in there anymore when I take the wading plugs out.
