diff breathers

[Apache]

What thread are the breathers?

I've got a load of brass bar and feel like getting some more practice on my lathe...

<edit> Just noticed 1/8" BSP. I'm gonna make the blingest breathers you've ever hidden under your truck! (Got some already, but what the hell, I like making stuff)

Not unless you're wading. Wading causes the diffs to cool, the air inside contracts and it can suck water into the diff through the standard breathers if they're submerged.

do i need them ? why ?

btw, mines are pretty bling, stainless steel 6mm fittings to 6mm black pipe into 6-8mm black abs fitting into blue 8mm pipe. nice.
