So after a long hiatus due to work I'm back to working on the bike. Finally got it up to the brother in law's to remove engine from frame and get top end overhauled. When we were removing the engine from the bike the right tube on the oil breather piece bumped something and broke clear off. 4 allen screws hold the whole unit to the back of the engine so you can replace it....problem is I can't find one. None on MikesXS that I saw, and could'nt find one on e-bay. Any ideas anyone? I'm on 56K here in the boondocks so I can't post a picture to explain the part I broke.

Thanks!

believe you're referring to part # 36? would a plumbers tee fit there? wouldn't be metric thread but might be possible to re-work one
