I'm lousy at judging tubing diameters, also, I think copper might work harden and crack sometime down the road. I had to make some pretty abrupt turns in making that breather tube.
However, Get bold, try your idea, and post the results (Only if successful, feel free to keep failures to yourself )

Re: 45 oil pump
I'm back. Needed oil change so did the flush and put 2 hoses in the breather and ran them back to oil the chain as Frankenstein as did. After a couple of 20 mile runs all is good. No oil coming yet but not to worry the sprocket seal takes care of the chain. Time will tell. Thanks to all for your input.
