Total cost was £40 for the tank, £25 for the pipe. THe AC pipe and clips were free but some copper plumbing pipe could be used to replicate it easily at a small cost, £10 say.

I had to have a good poke around behind the engine the other day to find all the pipes and 'ting. Still need to finish off the fuel tank breather as it's just blocked the the mo. Just need to find the pipes in the bootCheers'en, AndyC

Where did you plumb the pipe from the rocker cover or does it still go down to the crankcase?

Im still struggling with what it actually replaces and what it connects to mind you....
Also not sure where a 3B owner would stick one, as thats in the way of the battery.
But then, think ive got enough to deal with at the mo anyway
As the saying goes, if its worth doing then do it properlyChef

What is the advantage of taking the optional breather filter kit with you catch can? Does the catch can work better with such a filter?

You might but it the fit is nowhere near as neat, the inlet & outlet are the wrong size (they should be 19mm) and the outlet sticking upwards means that you're going to foul the bonnet if you mount it to the strut brace on an ABY, even with a 90deg pipe bend it'll be close. It's a generic solution that might be fine on race cars with plenty of space under the bonnet but on a road car it a tight squeeze. Hence why I went for a custom solution tailored to my car.
For the 3B owners there is the option of adding a second inlet fror the pipe from the head (in the right bore) to eliminate the need for the Newsh style T piece reducer. In terms of mounting, is there space in front of the battery? You could mount it to the battery tray or clamp.Cheers'en, AndyC

The breather filter is to vent to atmosphere rather than leave it connected to the inlet so that any rouge vapours get ingested into the engine rather than wafteing into the cabin. Doug and Mark H have done the VtA and I think Mark had to alter his setup as he was getting crank fumes coming through the blower as the filter was next to the blower due to the mounting. On a LHD car there is the brake reservoir to consider so best do a few measurements to check fitting.Cheers'en, AndyC

It's relative to the car though, the higher the output, the more elaborate the system needs to be due to higher volumes of air passing through the crankcase system.Jeff Redig - Sales/Tuning Rep, Midwest, USA
