Also, where can I get the hose, and what should I look for (except 12mm internal bore)?

Looks like I'll have to do this one. Do I need anything special to tighten the jubilee clips (jubilee clip driver maybe?)...as you can tell I don't do DIY

Just a normal screw driver, you will amaze yourself as it is fiddly but simple. 
Just go to any motor factor and ask for a fuel pipe, I would get 10mm as 12mm is too big and there is not alot of room around the breather hole.

It looks like there's quite a lot of space around the "notch" to me? 
Someone else tried with 10mm, and said they had to heat the pipe in hot water to expand it in order to get it over the notch...

Yep, that's what I did, lots of grunting and pushingIt looks like there's quite a lot of space around the "notch" to me?

I figured there's a good chance it wouldn't spill any, but the sake of £15 and a few minutes I'd rather not end up with a rear wheel covered in oil!
