Re:breathers

Quick one on breathers,

My understanding is that most people fit a seperate hose to each component, diff x2, tx box, gx box, which means you have 4 lines going up to the engine bay.  I was thinking about putting using one hose, starting at the rear diff, then when it gets to the tx box, using a 3 way connector, plugging in the tx box and then continuing the line up to the gx box and doing the same thing for that and the front diff. That would mean that only one hose went up to the engine bay.   Has anyone else done it this way?  If not, is there any particular reason you didn't go down this route?
 

I would have thought the less joints the better along the lines, just in case one comes loose?

True, I've never used those air line fittings before, not sure how robust they are. I don't suppose the hose takes up much space when it's all tie-wrapped together anyway.

I'm not sure if that's the best idea, while it does work, if enough water does enter into the single line, all your components would be screwed. This is hypothetical and will probably only introduce water into one component but it's something to think about. Separate hoses for each component would be best. Feel free to correct me if I'm chatting rubbish :DD

As others already pointed out it's a good idea to have a continuous line without any joints. You could build either with or without joints that's just a secondary question. The most important in my opinion to use proper kit like one here:

Don't use rubbish like garden hoses and clamps, stick with the proper stuff!

I actually offer both types mentioned above, but prefer to hav all lines going back to a manifold block -
