Default cosworth breathers..?

hi..
does anyone know of a breather suitable for a cossie thats larger than the baily style one or even a more square shape that could fit where the battery goes on a saff. im sure the baily one ive got is fine but now the battery is in the boot the breather looks lost.. im just looking at filling the space a bit really.. ive seen some at shows like what im after but guess they could have been custom made...
thanks for any help..

DIY matey, if you have a welder ?, can be done a large type like this for under £20.
I can put you onto someone who can make one to your design if you want, doesn't cost the earth but is pukka.

The man I could recommend was making a one off fuel tank today, he would no doubt fold the metal on his 8 foot folder so you get nice neat edges etc, but there's a lot of satisfaction diy, maybe spray afterwards, but I understand if you want a pro looking one.
There's seriously nothing technical about the design a box pipe and ideally media inside, which bailey don't have, would make a much more effective breather, the important pipe is the breather itself, and the media that stops the oil laden fumes escaping, scrub buds are good for this.

Spec R would make something that suits your needs.

Thats the one i'd part with cheap, two -10 and one -12 inlet. -12 spout has been slightly cross threaded, but i can supply it with a replacement weld on fitting, or the existing one may be able to be fixed?

thanks for that i have looked at most on ebay but as im not really too sure what i need .. think once my voice comes back ill ring spec-r and see what they can do.. i like the look of the one on mad rods saff although it might be overkill on my car it does look really good and obviously works..

Nice set up that Chris. I have a similar setup waiting to be fitted.

Your setup will look good with these AN-12 Hoses

What part of the word breather do spec r and similar not understand, where's the breathing it needs, it's pathetic, no doubt another empty vessel by someone(spec r) who doesn't have a clue about oil vapour, not that it is technical!!

Are the spec r ones on the shelf to go the same as rods or do you have to specify it and have it made

You havent had a look in my desgin breather Spec R makes as in Rods version, It is a breather seperator unlike the normal style open pot as quite a bit of work went in to that to make it work on the topspeed runs.
