Turbo drain is a nice sized bolt-on-to-the-fuel-pump-hole kinda fitting.
Mini gearbox and Rover 2300 (O-series?) have breathers that come out at 90
degrees. Rover one will fit directly to the fuel blank hole (but seals
badly - make/weld an adapter plate?) but might interfere with the underside
of the manifolds. Wanna JPEG?
Can't see any justification for limiting the breather sizes/numbers at all.
More, the merrier?
Have seen some nice conversions on Keith Briggs' Minis with the top cut off
a canister breather, the insides scooped out (oily and rusty) and replaced
with plasticy wool. The top is then fitted to a piece of stainless tube
that slides inside the old canister. Makes it quickly cleanable and the fit
is tight enough to keep dust out. Old office Coffee Percolators make good
catch tanks! Keep the sides cool to condense the fumes.
