Let’s install the crankcase breather parts “T-REV” cleanly.
We bend the stainless steel pipe with a bender, working it gradually. It’s quite high-performance, so it doesn’t collapse easily. If you heat it to bend it, it’ll discolor, and removing it is a hassle. Whether you have the right tools or not makes a big difference in speed and quality of fabrication.
The hose fits in, so let’s inflate it with a bead roller.
Larger sizes need larger shears, smaller sizes need smaller shears. We only have the smaller ones, though…
We fabricate a stand to mount the T-REV on. One spot melted a bit—consider it a quirk of the process…
The configuration turned out like this. After all that deliberation, it’s not that complicated—my apologies.
Rising from the case at 90 degrees
Routing around the oil cooler hose at 120 degrees
Mounting on the base and securing it lightly.
We route it back to the carburetor and draw it in again. If the installation just stretches out with hose and gets secured with zip ties wherever feels right, it looks a bit sad. So we’re being more thoughtful about it.
Next time, maybe we’ll use French-made hose clamps.
