8BA Flathead crankcase breather tube
Not the draft tube, the little short one under the intake? I'm getting close to assembling a Canadian 8BA and need one. Don't see any of the dealers selling one. Worst case scenario, I'll find some small diameter exhaust pipe and split it and weld it. Seems like a lot of trouble tho.

Re: 8BA Flathead crankcase breather tube
There should be a pile of these around here somewhere.
As many blocks that have been cracked and discarded,,,,pieces like this usually are saved. I’m sure someone on here would have one to ship your way,,,,if you make the request. You can make your own,,,,,but the factory piece is right on the money . Oh yeah,,,,your block looks great,,,,should make an excellent engine when finished. Tommy |

Re: 8BA Flathead crankcase breather tube
I wouldn't think copper or aluminum would be good choices, I'd be afraid vibration would grind away on them. If someone has a spare laying around in their horde, I'd be more than happy to pay for one. I'll make one if I have to.

Re: 8BA Flathead crankcase breather tube
See,,,,,I told you so .
The guys here are great ! When I got my 8BA,,,,,,the oil shields in the tappet chamber were damaged . A great guy on here sent an excellent set,,,just for the shipping price. Flatjack it was,,,,from Wisconsin,,,I met him on the Hamb,,,,,a lot of good men here on the Barn,,,,,and the Hamb. Most of us belong on both sites anyway,,,,LoL Tommy Last edited by Desoto291Hemi; 03-04-2021 at 01:48 PM. |

Re: 8BA Flathead crankcase breather tube
Found one . If you have some chainlink fence top rail I can give you dimensions.

Re: 8BA Flathead crankcase breather tube
I scored a proper vent tube this morning!
Thanks so much to all that offered assistance.
