Default can a breather fit under a strut tower brace?

did the search and did not see a definite answer to the question. If it cannot is there another way to hook a breather up to help with crank case pressure other than putting one in the oil fill location?

well I will be putting one on my car with my strut bar if I can get the dam chimney off the car- the black plastic piece the holds the oil cap. If you take that off it will fit in there.

yes then you should get it in there you may have to add a rubber grommet around the hole i beleive that you have to take the valve cover off to take the oil fill out

i have a BMR stb and am using a breather on the pass side. the back side of the breather will rest against the stb but it shouldnt be a problem.
