 +====== Fitting a Breather Horseshoe Tube to a Stock Ham Cam A/C ======
 +This mod allows you to use the stock ham can while also routing the breather vents out of the air cleaner.

 +Measure thickness of the 2 washers and banjo fitting. \\
 +Mark the difference needed to meet the backing plate and cut spacers to that length. \\
 +Put the OEM breather bolts through A/C baseplace with the spacers on. \\
 +Work out where the breather hole should be and drill a hole through the side for oil routing to the horseshoe tube. \\
 +The side holes in the bolts should be indexed so that, when they'​re tightened, the holes are vertical. \\
 +This will send the air from the heads into the tube with least resistance. \\
 +Torque the assembly, mark the top of the bolt and remove. \\
 +Use this mark to drill a top to bottom hole in the bolts. \\

 +The hole in the OEM breather bolts should already be the right pre-drill size for M8 threads. \\
 +Run an M8x15 tap into the holes to install M8 bolts to block off the OEM holes. \\
 +Attach the backing plate, run the vent hose where you want it and install the filter. \\
