The KR-2 which I am resurrecting has what looks like an original VW breather
cap with a safety wire internally to keep it on. [mushroom looking cap]
Is this acceptable or should I replace it with something else? This is also

Yes, it is acceptable. However, any oil that comes out of it, will, of

that, which will allow you to route the air/oil to an air/oil separator that
you can put on your firewall. This unit also allows for adding your oil.

I made a oil separator for my Hatz Bi-plane. Almost as described below but
fitted a small electric pump to pump the oil back to the sump. Due to the
sump pressure and Newtons law that flow takes the path of least resistance
the oil will not run back to the sump on its own. The separator works
I am assuming that you are assuming that the breather is the only source of
the oil that gets all over the belly.
