    Bought some alloy after market covers but they have no outlet for breathers? As all i have been checking out on the net .

    Drill and tap, or weld on AN Flares.

    I'm selling NRE Billet ones and they have NPT thread in them. So do the Katech ones on the car.

    I was thinking just drill and tap but all the other ones are the same with NO holes MUST be a few cars getting around with sealed engins?

    Or those breather oil cap things?

    I reckon there is a few sealed engines around :s can't be good for them.

    I would drill and tap. Do it in SAE so you can use ORB fittings and they screw in flush. 3/4 -16 for AN-8 and 7/8 -14 I think for AN-10 ORB

    Ride 42, what brand of covers did you get? Are they tall or stock height?
