Oil catch tank fitting

Recommended Posts

I was bored again so fitted a Mishimoto XL (off ebay for £100) oil catch tank. It fits quite nicely next to the clutch MC. The hoses are also from Mishimoto but the clips they supplied are rubbish. The hose arrangement is my best first shot but will at least work. As I have a newly refurbed engine/head I want to reduce the amount of oily fumes it regurgitates. I made the bracket from 3mm Ali and used 2 x 6mm rivnuts in the bulkhead. Now I know it fits I might replace with s/steel bracket. I put a rubber pad under the tank to stop any slap n tickle on the horizontal bulkhead surface. 

I tried to post this yesterday but it wouldn't upload 😡. Still having lots of problems after the update.

Yea, think you might have some 'nodding dog'

The cylinder is quite tight in the horizontal surface. I might tack weld a flat verticle spine along its length and to both end flanges to stiffen it up.
