In line catch can?
« on: 09 December 2010, 17:18 »
Can you get an in-line catch can? Thinking of positioning it between upper breather and puck. Jyst replaced all breather hoses so dont want to sling them.

you can do an inline catch can.. but how are you going to mount it using existing pipes ??

Loop it out into the breather into the inline, loop out of the inline back into the massive Y splitter in the engine, so just a loop, that would be my guess, which is not a bad idea.

But its also down the price, as some of these tanks are silly price... Cheapest solution I have seen so far is order some 19mm steel pipe, cut in half and weld onto one of them steel whiskey flasks  :grin:

I was thinking it, as it was a cheaper solution than buying a ready made one. Like a small steel pipe is £5 with delivery a flask is £5-10, now thats cheap providing you got the welding tools ready there and a drill? Or am I being too optimistic?  :laugh:

Put a whiskey sticker on it and it will keep its original shape so people will be like "oh thast a catch can, oh wait... that looks like a hip flask" which is where you run in and go "yes, yes it is". Think it will be obvious by the lid on it and its shape tbh, but non the less it would look intresting.
