Rocker cover breather pipe

Hi guys
I've recently changed carbs, from Pierburg to Weber. The car's running great, but I have 1 question.
I've changed from the original air box to a k&n filter, so the breather pipe on the Rocker cover is open. Should I try and get the adaptor plate to attach it to the k&n, or use a universal breather filter?

Thanx
Phil

Personally mate I'd get a catch tank, they seem to run better with not breather back to the air box :good:

With a catch tank doesn't it go back into the airbox? I have made one to catch the oil but have fed another pipe back to the airbox? :dunno:

no mate just run a 12mm hose from your rocker cover with a 12mm t piece to the catch tank and put a small uni air fliter on top of the t-piece and 1 on the side of the air box and one on top of the catch tanker as alex says there do run alot better

Nah Ash, pipe from the rocker to your tank. Then a little filter on the air box where the OEM breather from the rocker went. Jobs a good 'un! :good:

Pancake filter that just sits on top of the carb? If so, and if you must, make sure you run ducting from the front of the car to feed it cold air, otherwise it will just suck hot air from around the engine.
