Thanks for tips. The nipple isn't as big a concern as the correct filter cap itself. The spigot that is now in the case threads in with a 7/8" pipe thread, and the top end is just a plain tube, ca. 1/2". I'm wondering it that isn't itself the nipple part of the assembly and that the filter is simply a friction fit onto the top end of the spigot.

FWIW, mine was welded onto the end of the 1/2 inch tube. It was smooshed due to usage, so I took it off and have another breather cap ready.......which, by the way, comes off my spare Pontiac 261 engine. Same cap as on the t case breather.

Hi Mark
I've looked in past for a modern match to this vent. Though I have found functional replacements from tractor and heavy equipment hydraulic outfits vent on hydraulic tanks. I have not found a look-a-like replacement for the original unit. The closest that I have come to the top mushroom is from a Ford truck but it is a push on crankcase breather. When we find a source I need at least two for my 3-ton CMPs. You do need these breathers I tried just putting a plug in, and the pressure build up from heating of the unit going down the road resulted in seals pissing out gear lube. Cheers Phil

I've had an offer of one from the Antipodes, and when it arrives, I'll know if it's the right one or not. I'll let y'all know.
