You can reform those breather caps. Find a screw-driver or file handle that's big enough to spread the lugs on the back of the cap. Get a hot-air gun (maybe a hair-dryer will be hot enough), warm up the plastic lugs, and spread them with the handle until wide enough apart to grip. Allow to cool with the spreader in place, and re-fit. No problems since I did mine on the Fastback. Dave.

FIXED!! ( I Think... I hope...) The plastic breather cover arrangments are a bit different from year to year, too, on the '71 there's one plastic plug that supposed to snap into the breather box. When I first got it, that cover would jump around like the weight on a pressure cooker and would fly completely off if out on the highway with oil going everywhere. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
