copied from  #List of names - Custom made 19mm catch can fittings#

I'm interested in a pair made to the same spec as cullygti's.

I have the same catch can but I have decided to mod mine slightly, I've stretched out a steel wire scourer and dropped it into the can. I've also got some copper plumbing pipe (12 or 15mm I will check when I get home) and bent it slightly and also drilled a couple of holes down the side. I am going to epoxy that to the inside of the inlet fitting so that the gasses have to pass through the scourer baffle first. Thats my cheapo bodge to copy the saikou michi internals. http://www.saikoumichi.com/OCC_explanation.htm

Would you be able to lengthen the thread of one of the fittings or possibly machine it so the copper pipe can slide over or into the fitting?

dunno if a scourer would break up, i had one on the side which was wet and it ended up rusting and falling apart and as there is almost 90% water when catch tank is emptied i think it would rust.....

would a stainless steel one not rust with the oil/water mix  :undecided:

Thats what I was thinking so I went for the stainless steel thick wire type

Being stainless steel, it shouldn't rust. In theory! I'm guessing it wont be as good quality s/s as an exhaust system but even then it will last at least 6 months. They're cheap enough to replace nearly as often as I would empty out the can.

its just the worry of it starting to break up and get sucked into the turbo causing boom boom!!!!

as the pieces are bigger on the scourer maybe epoxy resin some gauze to the inside of the inlets like this or maybe if you get a big enough piece of gauze line it right around the can and then put in the scourer something like this in the link as an example to line right around inside of can obviously you can find it a lot cheaper this is just an eg..
