Or for those of us that can weld, here is a basic list in pic form of the materials that you need.



Drill presses and holesaws are great for cutting out circles in aluminum. They work for steel as well but they are loud and aggrevating.



Two hole saws were used for this piece before I welded the litte tube on.



And the basic outline

The mounting bracket



The mounting bracket welded on and the rest of it finish welded



Finished piece



& finally mounted. i plan on changing out those 1/8 NPT -> -4AN fittings with some barbs and using a clear plastic tube as a sight-tube. This is really more of a crankcase vent/puke tank but it will work to keep the crankcase as atmosphere.

I think anyone who owns one of these cars should have at least one welder. My newest toy is my plasma cutter. So much fun, makes things so much faster and less aggrevating. Not to mention the cost of jig saw blades when trying to build something out of 14 Ga or thicker stainless, or anything with curves.

I own. Spent a long time accruing. Many a side job to afford the more expensive ones. Bandsaw is the next big purchase.

My neighbors hate me, well really only one. He's called the building inspector in an attempt to get my shop knocked down.

Of course I did, & I did only posted a few pics, not a writeup. Way too involved for most of the peeps on this forum.

There is no link, I didn't want someone ripping off my idea and finishing it before I did. I only posted an obscure picture or two, like this one
