Default GGR Oil breather mouting suggestions?

I folks... Ive got the GGR alloy tank setup on my Escort, i was just wondering how everyone has mouted the Oil breather to the right of the head?

as when I bought my car it was just loose on the pipes, the braided pipe has eaten away at my strut brace where its been moving about.

I was thinking of a bracket on the rear panel or maybe a mouting bracket off the suspension turret... so whats everyone else done?

I've got a GGR oil breather set up installed. This is installed on the right hand side, as the car is a left hand drive. This catch tank is shorter than the normal so it fits in under the strut brace. Not sure you can see it well from this angle, but the hoses hold it steady.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
John

I dont think i can set mine up like urs John as mine is the full size one, its a squeeze as it is at the minute, im thinking of paying around with the hose lenghs, my GGR pot has two take offs from the top and one from the bottom, a little different to yours!

Yes, mines the three-port oil separator, with a breather to a catch tank. I believe you can get a two port, which you might have bought.

yeah my 3port GGR just sits on the hoses, no bracket included, looked second hand in days rubbing on the inlet ,a bracket needs welding to the rear of the collector to fit to bulk head or under strut brace to keep it steady really
