what bored did u order 15mm or 9mm

 

[Martyn]

15mm mate, the existing breather hoses are 19mm though so you either have to use a reducer or work some creative magic

 

[chrisbond69]

luckily im a technician so im sure i can laith or make something up yay its on its way

 

[Jonzy]

Botchy ****ers

 

[Martyn]

Chris, when you get round to turning something on the laith let me know as i'd be interested for mine (still sitting in the lounge 2 months later)

 

[chrisbond69]

deffo mate ill look into it, maybe even replace the screw in bits ill wait till i get it then see what i can do cos im sending it off asap to get it powdercoated

 

[PhilW]

the way i done it was use some 19mm superflex tubing and use a inch long piece of the clear 15mm tubing that comes with the tank as a shroud for the tank connectors. So the 19mm superlfex slides perctly over the catch tank connections.

DV relocation has now gone btw.

 

[chrisbond69]

got ya i wonder though if u want ill try get some made up

 

[nick radwell]

just reading the thread what exactly does it do apart from the obv or should i say what benefits r there?? dont know mayb cos i have an oil burner mayb i need one so dont top up so regulary lol!

Catch tank basically stops any oil that gets kicked up into the crankcase breather pipe, from entering the inlet manifold.

What kind of price are those Ebay ones ?!? (Can't view Ebay on this PC )
