I have a 1275 (1293cc) based engine and running an electric fuel pump. Also running an Eaton supercharger, so the water pump side crankcase breather has been removed to allow room for the pulley.

I have retained the transfer case side breather. As I dont have a mechanical fuel pump, I saw these on DSN classic web site - I dont know if I strictly need to replace the breather I removed or if just the one on the transfer case will do?

Can you post another link?  I get a "404 Not Found" message whenever I try the link posted above.

Just the one ought to do, it'll still be much bigger than the air inlet in the filler. Two are better for any surge from cornering, but you'd have to be well over on 2 wheels to trouble the tranny case breather. The pump hole should work, but the pump was located to be splash lubed so a baffle would be in order. An alternative could be to tap into the timing chain housing via the back plate, it how they did some inline A's.

I did end up fitting one of these to the original fuel pump hole, and also installed a pipe into the rocker cover to allow it to breath - all pipes go into vented catch tank with vac.
