No Jarrid, I think it's a terminology problem.

There is a hose from the oil filler (on the rocker cover) that goes to
the air-cleaner that I'm interested in.
The PCV is in the hose from the crankcase to the inlet manifold isn't
it?

The S3 w/twin Zenith has the first one, but still just has a vent pipe
on the crankcase (ie no PCV). S1 & II did not have either (I think).

The Aussie cars all came with the GT-type air-cleaners (ie, airbox,
hose, remote paper element air filter). I have gauze air filters that I
want to use on my car, but I need to add the *rocker cover* breather
hose to the back air cleaner, as per the ones in the parts list
(unfortunately only the top of the a/c is shown).

Cheers,
Paul.
