Default Broke valve cover breather for air filter

long story short i but a hole through the little breather valve that goes from the valve cover to the air filter. ive looked around town and cant find a replacement! A buddy of mine is talking about some kind of mini kn filter you can buy to go in there, any ideas? im trying to find something to use in there so i can get the jeep on the road!

Not sure on the begining of your story but I think the parts your talking about are two 90 degree elbows ,4 short pieces of rubber tubes, and two small pvc pipes that is for both the front and rear holes on top of the valve cover and you can get them all at the dealers for under 15 bucks.g/l

not sure what year or engine you have.
I just replaced mine (renix 89). It was the tubing that goes from the front of the valve cover to the air filter going through a connector .... it is the CCV at least on the older engines
O'reilly have a front vacuum harness replacement for less than $20. In and out ....easy replacement

Either a junkyard or plastic weld it. The crank case ventilation isnt the most important thing to be perfect on the engine.
