What axle breather extenders have people gone for? Any options that don’t require drilling? Thanks.

I liked the look of the Des Sol breather kit, but they needed to check shipping costs to UK and I think they might have forgotten.

Perhaps if we buy two and get them shipped together it might be more cost effective and perhaps more interesting to them?

It used to be a thing to make a home brew version using garden hose and just screw clamping on the nubbin left once the floating cap was removed. They were slightly more maintenance intensive as they were less secure than a threaded connector but they were considered effective.

This is the kit, I have been trying to buy

des-sol.co.za/product/differential-breather-kit/

It's a bit more expensive than some of the kits and a lot more than a bit of hosepipe, but I am going to spend a bit of time crawling under the car fitting it and I don't want one of the breathers to come and flood the diff, so think it is worth it.

I will email them again to see if they have a price for shipping, then there might be import duty to pay, I will let you know.
