4.0L breather hose... ?

[xjintx]

Not sure what it's actually called but need some suggestions. The front hose on valve cover that gets air from the intake.

I have replaced air box with Summit racing inline filter. I currently removed the front hose and just have a small filter on the valve cover fitting... not in pic.

What I need to do is replace the filter and stock hose. I need to drill into intake add fitting and new hose to valve cover.

I saw another post somewhere that had a replacement hose actually was braided but can't find now. I am open to suggestions for the fitting. Is it just a plumbing type fitting or is there an automotive type I can get?

When I bought my spectre cowl intake it was supposed to come with a braided hose, but the package had a rubber hose (that was too big) and a note that they were out. I just went to the Napa and bought a foot and a half of hose that fit. I don't like a lot of shiny stuff under my hood so I was happy with the hose.

I don't know what kind of fittings you could get and I'm kind of surprised that summit doesn't have something that would fit. If I were in your situation I would probably just get a breather filter and put it in some hose and hide it somewhere out of sight so it wouldn't look like a tuner race car.

Random side topic: Are you still using those bumpers I sold you a few years ago?

I removed mine and went with a breather filter from Autozone, so far everything is running fine and I don't have a hose to worru about anymore.

Pep Boys sells a little kit with multiple fittings and such just for that purpose, I think it was like 9.99 or something.

the breather filter is fine for now but not in water. The Ozark rally I expect water so need to waterproof.

Iluv83vettes I sold those bumpers with my old jeep... I assume still working for him but not sure if he even wheels???

Thanks 1yellowJK I bought the fittings and rubber grommet kit from O'Reilly's worked like a champ

Lol, are you talking about old blue and my buddy Sam?

 

[xjintx]

Yes, Will, those are the bumpers does he still have it?

 

[DeftwillP]

Well I believe an impound lot has it right now.

 

[iluv83vettes]

That's unfortunate. Those were good bumpers.

I'm sure he'll get it out. It was only as of Saturday morning.

I'm still willing to buy back if he has not wrecked it
