Just wondered whats inside one really, i need -fittings welded into one but that got me thinking, can i just make one from scratch? Is there anything fancy inside one or is it just a empty pot?

Thanks

You have 1or 2 in feeds on one side and 1 or 2 outlets on the other side with a plate separating it so the oil hits the plate and drops to the bottom of the tank through another fitting for a drain.
The plate goes from the top to the close to the bottom but not all the way to allow the air up out of the outlet fittings.

So something as simple as this then, excuse my lack of artistic skills lol

No, that baffle extends down to far and once fluid builds up the engine cannot breathe through it without risk of blowing it out the top hole.

There needs to be sufficient volume for fluid at the bottom, without it posing a restriction to free air passage.

And baffles need to be sufficient to allow air to flow freely, without allowing any fluids to escape.

Yeah like that but don't have plate so close to the bottom

so how far away from the bottom of the pot are we suggesting? i assume the baffle is a solid plate?

Yeah solid plate.
All depends how big you tank is but I would say take it 2/3rds the way down

Ok sounds good,

While we are on the subject where would the cam cover breather go on the seperator if i have it like below:

The other way is;
you have your 2 inlets at the top
one small drain outlet at the bottom
one large breather outlet at the bottom- and this large outlet pipe goes up inside the tank close to the top.

Sorry, what i have described is a bailey style breather - rather than the seperator you are talking about

You don't need to breath from the rocker cover, just breathe from either side of the block and drain into the sump.
If you go onto GGR website and there's a good write up why not to.

when I bought a bailey one and fitted it onto my FRST it ran like a pig big time, so was soon ditched for OE again
