Garage
Axle Breather

I have the little plastic plug that is the bottom of the axle breather but the top cap is missing. Does anyone have a suggestion on a replacement, or the source of a new or used one. I bought everything that McMaster had and don't like any of the options.

IIRC Keith L. aka Opelspyder said it was the same breather used on GM A/T.
