117" doesn't breath through breather bolts, if you have breather bolts you must have an aftermarket air cleaner setup. You can just replace them with a regular 5/16-18. There is no air that can breath there, that's why there's the hoses coming out of the top of the heads. The rear goes into a one-way check valve and the front goes to the intake manifold, front head sucks & rear blows.

Well that’s lucky for you. Because you’re absolutely correct that 5/16-18 vented breather bolts are a pain in the ass to find. Ask me how I know.... Thx again Eric for hooking me up with some. Ridgeback is happy to be on the road again.
