Putting the new breather tube in place. I used a brass tube for this; it's about the same diameter. The hole I drilled was about 3/8”. I pushed some rolled tape into the tube to hold it in place, and used the clamp to hold on to the tape. Before inserting the tube, I fit a q-tip down in the hole and tried to get epoxy on the sides. In retrospect, rather than coat the tube in epoxy, I would have put a light coat on it, slid it in, then filled a syringe with epoxy and pressed it into the hole. As it stands, I'm not sure how much of the hole actually got filled (probably just the very top).
