M/T Valve Covers with Breathers

[volquartsen]

Found a set of my fathers old M/T valve covers with the breathers, would like to incorporate
them into my build...just wonder if this style is any good, like am I going to get blown oil everywhere with these breathers? Any reason not to use these? Just looking for some advice.

The breathers will need to be re-plated, before I go through the trouble I want to make sure the covers are worth using...thanks

Re-plated? Should be polished aluminum aren't they?

Those are a nice looking covers. I would try and flip them around side to side so the fill hole is on the front pass side rather than be under your brake master. Run them!

Totally agree w/NorCam ... TAZ

Just for comparison, the same time in '69 that I bought these M/Ts, I bought these little breathers too.

Those breathers are fine. Just make sure the metal baffle is installed.

Breathers are chrome plated....assuming the breathers came that way?
