2wd Saph Cosworth standard breather system.
I'm not the most mechanically gifted, so I apologise for that.
I've got a standard 2wd Saph Cosworth which is 90% complete. I'm looking to fit the standard breather system back into it and I have all the parts. However, in struggling to find where everything needs to go to connect it all.
Does anyone has some advice/instructions/images that can hopefully make the installation fool-safe?
I'll be grateful for any advice. Thanks.

Below the inlet manifold you should have a kidney box?
From here a hose should connect back the the airbox.

The kidney box hasn't been fitted yet, after a previous owner removed it.
I'm assuming the long pipe that goes to the airbox clips into the top of the kidney box?
I'm ok up to that point, but it gets messy (for me) with these pipes....

That pushes into the kidney box then returns to the air box and one returns to plenum cover

It won't look like this in a few weeks time. It's very dusty, but it's rust free underneath it all.

Can any of you local guys recommend somewhere nearby to go to get bits and pieces coated? At some point my cam cover will need re-done.

That would have been my first port of call. I'll be sure to mention you and I'm reassured that they're the place to go to locally.

It all depends on how my finances are to be honest. It's a 2wd, but it has the 4x4 bonnet, rear light clusters and it has been de-locked.
Ideally, I'd like to restore everything back to 2wd spec. I'll just get the cam cover done early on once the car is up and running, and I'll see after that as to what else I can get coated.
