It is a breather to equalize the pressure in the axle to prevent water from being sucked in through seals when the warm axle cools down suddenly when immersed in water.

Re: HELP Missing Screw for Axle Boot

"..but the screw I am missing has a very unique collar at the screw head"
Its only purpose is to prevent a screwdriver from slipping out of the slot; a screw with a washer will do.

Re: Reverse-mount 12V alternator

Very nice - to think not so long ago they were flame-cut and you still had to grind them.
Add an earth strap to the BOM because you are powder coating the bracket!

Re: Reverse-mount 12V alternator

Reverse idlers are hard on belts and some belts are possibly constructed differently than others.
On my John Deere ride-on lawnmower, the OE belt lasts twice as long as a standard Gates belt but is also twice as expensive.

Re: 716K RHD UK

I just received the quote for the Pinz and man, are they nuts!
