You can get fittings that are designed to go though bulkheads. Same type scenario but I don't know now thick wall they can go through or if they can work well with the curves of the housing. You could also get a weld on bung that has pipe threads in it. Or one last option is have the machine shop machine you a barb fitting out of steel with no threads drill the hole to fit that and weld it in.

Just go out and buy a 1/8" NPT tap. It should fit into the hole that the stock breather was pressed into without having to drill it out more. Then just pick up a 1/8" NPT x barb fitting and hook it up to your vent line (and run the vent line as high as you can and stick one of those cheep $.99 fuel filters on the end). To keep the shavings from tapping just put some grease on the tap.

Coat the tap with heavy grease. That should hold the chips & keep them from getting into the diff.

I got the tap and brass fitting at Home Depot. Most auto parts stores around here sell more of those little minibikes then they do auto parts /forums/images/graemlins/screwy.gif
