Got my can and it's a work of art, thanks Clive.

The pipework supplied is the same as in Clive's pics. From a functional point of view the pipes do the job but they will look out of place under my bonnet. Nevertheless I'm very happy with the group buy and well done to Clive for sorting it out.

Ok fair play on the pipes i know Clive did some running around to get this GB sorted, i can source some hose locally so not to worry.

Mine arrived i think but the missus missed the postman:

Thanks for organising the GB Clive and good luck with the next one.

Got around to fitting mine today, to replace a temporary one.

Although delighted with the quality, I was concerned about the 5mm drain hole, both in terms of accessibility and speed of drain. I also thought it would be useful to have a sight tube to check how full it was...so I plundered parts from an ancient catch can that was gathering dust in the shed and ended up with this:



The alloy was quite thin, but I managed to tap threads successfully and sealed them with loctite-impregnated thread sealer from my plumbing toolkit

Fitting first of all involved removing the no longer needed TMIC water spray bottle - a bit of a pig to get to some of the bolts, and then wiggling it out but removing the windscreen washer bottle and starter motor cable made life a lot easier.

Once I had the space free, I realised that the A/C was going to make locating it a bit tricky.

I ended up using one of the aircon pipe support mounting holes, and reused a bracket that had supported the TMIC water bottle, plus bending the catch can mounting bracket back. Then a hole through the wing and it was mounted. Didn't take pictures...sorry

Then the main problem I had was the 25mm vent pipe supplied wouldn't take a bend without flattening. So I've bodged it for now with some 22mm copper tube elbows (didn't have any jubillees of the right size) and will seek out some better pipe this week.

There's a mix of breather pipe types as I was able to reuse some of the existing ones.

I have bunged the drain for now, and will get a fuel tap (or similar) this week and fit it in-line and route a pipe somewhere accessible - that way emptying it will be easy

Here it is fitted.
