Rear Axle Breather

[david469463]

WSH told me that there is a small, 2-3mm breather hole in the top of the rear axle that should be kept clear. Unfortunately he couldn't be specific about its location and I have not been able to find an indentation in the paint that might be a hiding such a hole. It might be obscured by the brake pipe and connector, but perhaps someone could give me a more precise location. Is it forward or aft of the top seam? Is it to the left or right of the differential? How far is it from any identifiable point? David James TC4985

There is a small breather hole in the brass filler cap.  I'm not aware of any other breather holes on the TC axle housing.    Marv TC5141 On Monday, September 25, 2017 9:29 AM, "dr.david.james@gmail.com [mg-tabc]" mg-tabc-noreply@yahoogroups.com> wrote:   WSH told me that there is a small, 2-3mm breather hole in the top of the rear axle that should be kept clear.

David, The breather hole is in the top of the brass filler cap. Regards Peter Cole.

How far is it from any identifiable point? David James TC4985

Thank you gentlemen. The filler cap was tarnished and I d not realised that a mark was, in fact, a hole. I ve given it a good clean. David James TC4985

Here 2 pics of the somewhat elaborate breather/filler plug the factory installed. Nice baffle to keep splash from escaping through the hole. TC9866 CA --------------------------------------------
