Default Thinking of fitting an oil breather. What bits do I need?

Hi all, I am thinking of fitting an oil breather to my 3dr.

I am currently running a stage 3 but have intentions of upping that power in a few months time. Already have my T34.55

What bits do I need? I know I need an oil breather unit! But what other bits do I need?. Adaptors, hoses??

Are all oil breather's need to be connected to the rocker cover?. Some were I read that cosworth had intentions of fitting these and there is grove under the rocker cover. Obviously the rocker needs to be taken out if this is the case. Car is still at Grove so thinking of getting this done one time.

Cheers

it you buy the bailey breather then you can get the fitting kit with it comes with the adaptors and hoses, and yes if you take off the rocker then you will see a round casting mark in the top right hand side underneath, drill this out and loctite in the adaptor

Alternatively you can fit that 2nd breather hose to the block on the exhaust side of the car (there is a blanking plug), this is where the oil return drain would usually go to with the Bailey kit. And instead get a couple of fittings to attached the oil drain hose to the sump plug hole.
This is a better way of fitting the kit, with respect to the breather locations off the engine (from the crank area) and the oil return point (below oil level).
