How much clearance is there between the drain plug and the bolt hole Chris? Doesn't look as if there's very much, is there enough to fit an M8/M10 bolt head in there? Without catching?

I just had a quick glance in my engine bay arriving home from work.
Behind the battery and fuse box, where the secondary air pump bits used to be, there is a small ledge with a hole in that could potentially be a mounting spot. It looks very tight and I cant tell until I investigate the weekend. If it is too tight, which i think it may be, there is space to install a plate using the existing hole and reposition the mounting hole away from the fusebox. The height looks very tight too, again ill have a good mooch the weekend when I have time
There may be other spots, but seeing as ive had the pump pulled out, I wanted the can to fill its place
Hawkeye sti.
If I remember in the morning ill take a pic and upload so it makes a bit more sense.

Sorry for the misunderstanding guys. I have edited the first post ,.
These DO come with pipework - but is it only Clear pvc .
If you want decent silicone (samco like) pipework then I can supply this at £10 a meter . 3 meters should be enough .
Sorry I don't have a date at the moment as we are still working on them and there is lots to be done. I have noticed other sellers selling welded cans and comparing in them to our cans. Our cans are Billet version like Mishimoto ones that retail over £200.
I am honestly doing these cans pretty much at cost and they are a bargain - you just need to hang in there with me and your get a nice product

guys, sorry i thought i posted info on the hoses, the clear pvc stuff isn't really up to to the job for oil, where the silicone hoses i can do at cost £10 per metre i will be able to offer 2 years warranty with . i'm not saying this to make a extra buck as it is honesty at cost,
but if you just want the pvc stuff let me know and ill get it posted
everyone else chasing orders i will come back to them asap
thanks chris

Nor here but spoke to Chris on Friday so hopeful it's on its way Chris?
Do need it and the silicone pipework this week too as the car's in getting a load of bits fitted at the weekend.

So some people received theirs on the 2nd September yet 9 days later and I'm still waiting (and I guess I'm not the only one?)
I'd explained I'd made arrangements to have this, turbo, fuel reg and a load of other bits fitted this weekend, I'm now going to have to cancel that as it makes far more sense to have them done at the same time whilst there's easier access.
Last I spoke to you Friday you said it, and the pipework, would be posted imminently?
Cmon mate what's the deal?

On another note....
I don't want to be running the filter open inside the engine bay, I'd like to fit a 90 degree silicone pipe from that fitting at the top then join to/run another silicone pipe from there, out of the bay somewhere, perhaps through the wing.
Can you tell me diameter of the fitting at the top so I can get the correct ID silicone elbow ordered up?
Cheers!
