Quaife reverse gearbox breather
I understand that my gearbox needs a breather pipe, which I have fitted, but I now understand that if I dont have a catch tank on the other end I will
have oil all over my engine bay. The only problem is, is that most oil catch tanks seem to have 2 pipes at the top, but I understood that the oil
will drain back into the box when its not being used. Does this sound right, or have I mis-understood?
My gearbox is the gold coloured in line reverse gearbox as used on bike engines.
Please advise, and any pics on the same box would be most appreciated?
Cheers
Nick

I made a small catch tank for my quaif box, using one of the larger type throw away fuel filters. i split the seam, and removed the paper elemet, so i
was just left with an empty plastic cylinder built one end up with a piece of rubber hose and fitted it into the breather hole in the gear box, then
fitted a hose to the other end up to the scuttle, not lost a drop this way

Take the drain plug off the bottom of the catch tank. Fit a plug with a nozzle to connect to the pipe to the Quaiffe.

Quaife Box Breather
Cheers guy's, I thought this was the way. but didn't want to crash my box with oil starvation. Most oil catch tanks have loads of in/out
points. It seems to take not much nowadays to confuse me

Quaife do sell the their own breather pipe and tank, not the cheapest but fits straight on and no faffing about with making something - I just bought
it from them
