CB Performance Breather Tower Nut

Replacement extended-length retaining nut for securing an aluminium breather tower to the alternator or dynamo stand on Type 1 aircooled engines. This nut is specifically designed to suit breather towers with a thicker mounting base, where a standard nut would not provide sufficient thread engagement.

When fitting a breather tower, the mounting flange is typically thicker than the original oil filler, meaning the original retaining nut may not fully tighten or secure the unit correctly. This longer nut ensures proper clamping force, holding the breather tower firmly in place while maintaining a reliable seal at the O-ring.

Correct installation is essential to prevent oil leaks and ensure stable mounting of the breather system. This nut allows the breather tower to be securely fastened without compromising thread engagement on the alternator stand.

Manufactured from durable steel for strength and longevity, it is an essential part when installing or servicing aftermarket breather towers.
