3B Catch Tanks

[gmac78]

Good evening guys

A quick question for you all, where might i be able to source a decent catch tank for my 3B?

I had to remove what was left of my perished breather hoses and with no other option at the time i had to use the car as it was. Im sure you can imagine the mess this leaves on the engine block when venting into the engine bay via make shift plumbing, not good!! needless to say the old girl is parked up now till i get this sorted.

Any pointers as where to look for a suitable catch tank?

Thanks in advance for any help

Regards

Gordon

I was looking to make one but space in the 3B in nonexistent You need to get a combination piece like Newsh has (30mm from crank case, 10?mm from head, worth upgrading this one tho) and then a 19mm to the tank.

If you get rid of the carbon canister next to the PAS tank then there is some room for a 0.5l tank, again, search for Newsh's thread about this.

I have fitted catch tanks onto both 3Bs I have...one has slimmer battery fitted so used part of the battery tray to hold catch tank the other one has slimline catch tank fitted to the strut bar which slides inbetween the master cylinder and intake pipe ..very tight fit but just

This is what I used...simple but works http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/OIL-CATCH-TANK...item519046cf46

Pretty much the same tank that I used Plus a hole in the top for a big fitting.

Good day

In the picture that you provided, where does the hose that is closest to the front of the car go to? Obviously there is the crank and head hose but is the other one connected to the petrol tank?
