Q: differential breather vent thread size

X308:

Does anyone know what thread size is used for the differential breather vent?

1/4 NPT sound familiar?

They are metric and cost about $20.00 new so I never care what the thread pitch is, I just put in a new one when a customer diff seal leaks and the vent sticks closed.

They have a fine thread pitch. (possibly 10 X 1.00mm)

I just threw one in the trash a week ago, but I never measured it.

Aw shucks.

I'll have a look at the 10x1 that you mentioned and see how close it is. I'm not trying to cheap out on a new one though. I just want to convert to a different arrangement.

Anyone else?
