I would plumb that breather into a pcv valve on the manifold, or to the vac port on side of the carby. If it doesn't have on there it is easy to add.
This is the carb that is fitted (except with an airfilter box). I have the vacuum advance coming off the little barbed pipe, I don't have anything on the yellow/pink pipe at the moment.

Q1. it's a late 850 by the sound of it, with the Oz built 850 motor.
Q2. Yes it's a deluxe one.
Q3. Morris 1100. Mini Deluxe or Mini K lever will drop in.
re the lever slop, there are various wear points in the linkage, the motor needs to come out to fix them all. Check the bolts on the toggle linkage (on top of box) are tight. Replace the 2 bronze bushes in the diff housing.
If the ball ends of the linkage are worn, most parts are NLA, but you can get them built up with hardfacing electrode and polished back to size.
Q4. Pry the engine about, if it moves replace the steady rubbers. Also jack it up check the mounts.
Also has a floor mounted headlight dipper switch as well
Q4. Check your driveshaft couplings and CVs aren't worn out and rattling about, could just be engine or gearbox mounts as the good Doctor suggests, but it would pay to check.
You're a little late for this question! It was the remote extension rubber mount that had torn all the way through. I'm installing a new one at the moment, along with new engine mounts, engine steady bushes and driveshaft couplings!
