Show me your breathers!

How about a pair of Siamese no name breathers.....................

 

Those were made by EELCO, I'd kill for a set of them.

 

Don't need anybody "Offed" at the moment, what ya got for interesting trade?

 

I picked up this set of SBC valve covers with these odd looking breathers. Can anyone tell me who made these?

 

The breathers on my swap meet Micky`s...I think they look soooo period correct on the right car.

 

Hopefully these will upload. Here are some to look at. In many a base adapter was a part of the job.

Here are mine with issues.

I bought a pair of chromed FE Cal Custom VC's a couple of years ago and as it turns out I can't use the GT breathers. Edelbrock 6X2 on a Ford FE leaves no room for the breathers when using Stromberg WW's. the breathers are 8-3/8 inches long and 3" tall.

So I've got 2 issues.

The breathers were chromed as well and they are peeling bad, the VC's however are quite good. Pictures show the breathers. How do I strip the chrome on the top cover without eating the chrome off the finned areas other than sanding/grinding. I've thought about a shallow bath of some type of acid and just submerge the top.

2nd issue. Whats the best way to cover about ten 1/4 holes in the VC's to match the chrome? I've thought about polished stainless or aluminum but maybe a piece of chromed steel would match better.

I've been looking for a set of those for years.

 

From my prior post regarding how to strip the chromed GT Breathers.

So I decided to just bite the bullet and use some pads on my die grinder and then sand starting with 36 grit to get rid of the corrosion pits . Jumped to 100 grit progressed to 600 grit. Used just a quick polish to decide where I need to start resanding and then final polish. I just used a 1/4 sheet sander that I usually use for my wood furniture building. Total time was 1 hr for the first (figuring out the process) and 1/2 hour for the second. Think i'm on my way to saving these.

 

Here are several different sets of breathers. 90 degree and straight GT Breathers and a set of small vintage MT breathers.

 

Heres my one off breather/catch can on my '47 Willys. Its rolled and welded stainless ...robber
