Default just fitted another home-made item - oil catch tank (pics)




fits just nicely behind the headlight - has 2 inlets - one 32mm and one 19mm - one for vapour and one for liquid, and then a drain tap on the bottom and 2 outlets for vent filters (need to get these yet). I also need to get hold of some 32mm and 19mm silicone hose (1 metre of 32mm and 2 metres of 19mm), but fooked if i am paying 60 quid for it - its expensive thesedays then i can fit my breather tank i made.


i love making things

Hadn't noticed that! Maybe it's an intentional condensing kink

i've lost my pipe bender, so i heated it up using a blowlamp and then bent it round my foot and hammered flat the kinks, then flow tested using a hosepipe - very little restrictions


the bottle is car polish - i iant getting greased up with that
