Differential breather

Hey guys,

my stock diff breather was broken off. I was able to thread a 3/8 bolt into the hole. Is this the typical thread? i have found differntial breather for sale from summit and other sites but none are this thread. Any ideas?

Thanks

Kris

Re: Differential breather

My educated guess is that it is pipe thread. I would look at 1/8 pipe, that is approx 3/8 dia

Re: Differential breather

Depending on which differential you have it will be either a pressed fit or 1/8" pipe thread.
