+ | Measure thickness of the 2 washers and banjo fitting. \\ | ||
+ | Mark the difference needed to meet the backing plate and cut spacers to that length. \\ | ||
+ | Put the OEM breather bolts through A/C baseplace with the spacers on. \\ | ||
+ | Work out where the breather hole should be and drill a hole through the side for oil routing to the horseshoe tube. \\ | ||
+ | The side holes in the bolts should be indexed so that, when they're tightened, the holes are vertical. \\ | ||
+ | This will send the air from the heads into the tube with least resistance. \\ | ||
+ | Torque the assembly, mark the top of the bolt and remove. \\ | ||
+ | Use this mark to drill a top to bottom hole in the bolts. \\ | ||

+ | The hole in the OEM breather bolts should already be the right pre-drill size for M8 threads. \\ | ||
+ | Run an M8x15 tap into the holes to install M8 bolts to block off the OEM holes. \\ | ||
+ | Attach the backing plate, run the vent hose where you want it and install the filter. \\ | ||
