Would something like this be a better option?
Thread the outside of the diff breather outlet stubs (which should be doable without getting any swarf down into the diff casings) and then loctite the barbed fitting into the desired orientation, attach suitable hose and feed up to desired height.

Possibly, the general consensus seem to recommend running a 1/8 bsp male tap internally down the axle housing breather spigot. But I gather that tends to be a job when the axle has been removed or the vehicle is heavily lifted.. much prettier end result. Bit daft that Suzuki made the breather spigots so big in the first place!

I tapped mine following suggestions from a mechanic who has done quite a few. He recommended loading the tap with grease which traps the swarf. Cut a few threads, wipe off grease with trapped swarf, load with clean grease and repeat.
This worked for me. I did change the diff oil after this as I'm a bit paranoid but it was due a change anyway.
