Breather Mold Project

[scottfab]

Since the original part is not an "F" shape and mine was loose FWIW I solved the loose connection at the joined point of the connector
by placing a small bolt with washers in the center-point between the two openings. It pinches in hard enough to both keep it on and eliminate leaks.
A temp fix till this new part is available.

In my opinion the part should be as close to the original as possible in color and configuration. Tom's idea using a zip tie to keep it tight seems to work out.

My $0.02

Thanks for taking on the project!

I am so far intending the first batch to be to be a perfect match to the original except for a 0.015" decrease in size on the ports. I also intend to incorporate internal grooves to simulate the nipples tips and help lock the various nipples in place so as to reduce the chance of release. I am still waiting for my test materials to show up. If these come out to be exactly they way everyone wants you all can thank each other for that sense its all of you input that has steered the design. I also might make a alternate version that will simulate the Samco unit. And once I have this hose worked out I will start on the lower one and its mold.
