www.1300cc.com has a writeup for a diy oil catch can for your specific application, costs next to nothing. As for as the rest of the oil catch cans out there you can make almost everyone of them work but imo they arent really worth it unless you LOVE shiny things

Like he said, all you need is one, it really doesn't matter as long as you can find a place to put it.

Mine's a cheap summit one, no bling, but it's got a drain valve, as it will accumulate oil over time (or at least it does on my race car )

I went to lowes to source parts for homebrew. Looks like you can fab one up complete a little less than $10.

Any particular reason you are tossing it, or did you just get sick of the ghettoness?
