What is a good source for Chevy valve cover breathers?

[Bill Eh?]

A lot of the reference pictures for the Mooneyes, show the engine with angled valve cover breathers. I don't think these are included with the kit. What might be a good source? Thanks for any ideas.

Like these?

Yes Bill, that is what I was referring to. If push come to shove, I could make them using some Evergreen stock.

I know for a fact there are some straight ones of that style in the Revell SWC Olds-powered Willys kit.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the angled ones in some kit with the early Chrysler hemi too. Somebody here must know.

Thanks for looking into it Bill.

I'm thinking of using two pieces of 1 mm by 2.5 mm styrene strip to make the legs, joined by a piece 1 mm  1/4 round to form the elbow.

If you need several sets of them, make one really good one, get it as perfect as you can make it, then make a mold and do some resin casting.  Small items like this are perfect starter projects for casting.

That makes sense Mark. I think I'll start by making one, just to learn the technique. If I'm happy I'll make four more, two for my Mooneyes and two to attempt casting. Since the Mooneyes is my first go at scratch building, why not expand my modelling skills a little more.
