Hello all,


First, I’d like to find a 633182 breather elbow if anyone has one laying around that they’d sell.

It appears that the TCM part is available, but at about a $500 price tag.
Not real cheap, but I found this for less than half the Continental part price. I was going to make my own, but don’t have access to an Oxy/ Acetelene torch anymore, and I can’t find someone local that willing to silver solder it, so I may bite the bullet and order this part after Christmas bills are paid.

A propane torch with mapp gas is all you need.

An issue is that I can’t find a small supply of 15% silver solder for less than about $100, add the Mapp gas etc, and may as well just buy something. Plus have you priced an AN 842-10 in brass?
Now another consideration is if I make it, then it can be installed as an owner produced part, but if you buy a part then it’s unapproved.
Wheels within wheels.

I was lucky, the local welding supply business did it for me. You might try that route.

I have been trying that, it seems no one wants that small of a job without saying it. Maybe if I had a working relationship or drove up and asked, harder to turn someone away when they are standing there than on the phone.
I’ve got some other work that needs doing anyway, I think my oil tank is leaking at the gasket and my mount inserts need replacing etc.

Jody, I’ll rub salt in your wound, they didn’t charge me as well. I did go in person as you mentioned.
