I have one if you are desperate , however too far to collect I guess so will need to be posted.

 

How do you crack them?

Thanks for the offer Lee,  think I'll try a local welder first and see if it's fixable. If not, I'll message you later this week.

   The original alloy one was leaking when I bought the car and the replacement all steel one has cracked 1/4" from the mounting plate.  Reckon they get cracked by constant removal and re fitting of the cam cover, the rubber breather pipe needs a bit of wiggling  to get a good seal on the cam cover connector.

Try a silicone hose rather than rubber - they're far more flexible :)

I was looking at them, think I'll order one.   Had the tube welded up in the end at my favourite welding shop, he's done a nice job of it.
