I've hopefully attached a couple of pictures of what I ended up doing in the end. I found an old valve chest cover I lying around which had already been partly butchered for an outlet, and combined it with a bit of old plumbing to direct the fumes into the carb.
I've been very surprised at how much of a difference it has made, I wouldn't say it's 100% cured, but a good enough difference to have been worthwhile and to make driving the car substantially more pleasant.
As for sorting the underlying issue causing the fumes, I've long learnt not to disturb an otherwise well running engine unless there is something absolutely critical wrong with it, as the simplest of quick fixes always seem to escalate into long term rebuilds!
