Noticed that the mrs mini is missing the brethare pipes from the block upto the carb, (they just vent to atmosphere). Do we think these are a needed or not??

[Bungle]

you can only vent to atmosphere if fitted with the K&N type filters

or else dirt will go into the engine as it cools down :smartass:

has the carb been blocked off where the vent pipe should go ?

[mini-mad-dan]

if the carb is blocked up then no, but it is usefull as without one i discoverd that the fumes from the block got into the car instead of being reused!

[Gwynny]

It doesnt look like the carb has been blocked off mate, and there is no K&N filter fitted.

And yes dan, i am getting fumes coming into the car too!

Where could a get a replacement hose?

[Bungle]

its just a rubber hose any motor factors shouls stock :wink:

[Gwynny]

But doesnt the bore reduce quiet a lot at one end, and would I need a tee peice to join the two breathers from each side of the block?

[miniboo]

yeah like that in the picture or just get 2 k and n mini filters

[Gwynny]

maybe the K&N's wil be easiest option!
