Default Transfer Case breather hose location?

Hi folks, just finishing up my AW4 and Transfer Case installation on my 99 cherokee automatic 4wd. One final question, I cannot recall where the transfer case breather hose exits. There is a small bracket with a hole that goes to a bolt somewhere. Can anyone remind me where that bolts to? Do you have a pic?

Thanks,

Andy

Firewall for TC, trans and front axle breathers, rear axle goes up into the body behind the the left rear wheel well.

As i Recll the TC vent valve bracket is attached to the trans dipstick tube mount bracket hole in the bellhousing. Can't recall because I trashed the bracket and extended the TC vent tube up to around the wiring harness against the firewall. Same thing with the AW4 vent tube.

I used a 5/16x5/16" brass barb couler and some 5/16" ID vacuum tube to extend the TC tube. Used a 1/4x1/4" brass barb coupler and 1/4" ID vacuum tube for the AW$ vent tube.

Correct on the trans bracket location.

Thanks, but I think you mean the TC bracket location.

This is what the relocation looks like. The AW4 vent was retained and the original POS TC vent was replaced by a front differential vent fitting.

Where do you find/get your breather vents? I end up scavenging them from wrecks in the junk yard.
