New Catch Tank Setup

mirage · Post by **mirage** » Wed Jan 31, 2007 5:23 pm

just finished putting in my new custom catch tank pipework. has anyone seen it done like this before?

i think it looks alot better (it was just one clear pipe coming off the left breather as you face the engine)

i just need something to block off the open breather on the left now

Looks really nice from a zero engineering knowledge and purely aesthetic point of view

Is that Oill resistant pipe you have fitted? Normal samco/silicone starts to rot when it comes into comtact with oil.

I must admit that I have not fitted pukka stuff on mine, but as often as I will drive it I will just replace the pipes on a yearly bases.

Looks good tho. I like the position of the catch can. Where does it vent?

i hope its oil resistant i told SCA what it was going to be used for and it cost enough. the catch tank vents same place opposite side to where the pipe goes in.

Not to worry you but you've got on open pipe on the left hand rocker cover ... is that normal?.

As Ben said, why have you not blocked it off?

Buy some jubilee clamps instead of using the cable ties.
Nice job.

Did you know that the cable tie you used on the strut brace was white !!!!!

Sorry mate couldnt resist based on the comments above.

Looking very good, you have now started down the path of colour coding under the bonnet....mwah ha haaaa
