I was debating it a huge deal as my dads got welding and brazing tools. Need to get in contact with him this weekend and see if he is up for the silly challenge and how easy it would be and maybe make it into a group buy  :grin: :grin: :grin: Sure the mk1/2 owners would love one, nothing says vintage/classic like a hip flask catch can.

Not sure if brazing would work or be a good idea, as brazing on steel would be more like a "filler+superglue" rather than a solid bond, similar to soldering, not sure it would be advisable in a warm enviroment with a lot of vibrations... But I'm no expert in brazing nor welding

brazing should be fine the pipes dont get too hot and brazing is much smarter looking that gunky welds..

I know alot of people where againt brazing when I suggested of making the pipework using alluminium and brazing for a FMIC, but like I said I'm no expert, I know brazing is very strong and I cannot really see it coming undone either, will have to see what rods I got as well as they may not be suitable.
