Hi Guys
Apologies if this topic appears twice. I posted this a while ago but then couldn't find it.
I'm after some advice please after making a mod to the wading plug on my '76 series 3 109 diesel.
I've fitted an airline adapter into the crankshaft housing as a wading plug. Thread fits perfectly. I've added a 1/4 inch ( inside diameter ) braided hose to act as a breather pipe. I hope to feed this up the bulkhead and into the dash along side the speedo cable.
Question is, I've been told that the crank case needs to breathe so was wondering if this mod would still work as a wading plug but work as a permanent fixture. It saves having to crawl under every time I go through water, or loosing the plug.
Thanks
