I know this has been mentioned a few times, but I am attempting to do a D.I.Y catch tank, with the intention of making a guide of some sort with price lists and where parts came from.

The one thing I am having problems with is the hosetail connectors.

Does anyone know the internal diameter of the intake pipe on the rocker cover?

Would be a big help as they are the only components I need now.

Thanks

I should be doing full kits very soon.

Found this original thread about this.Good reading too with all info you need

Sounds good. What sort if price would they be? I've got a very temporary and hugely pikey dog food can lol

It's a great mod; did mine 4 years ago and no problems - but - you do need to check and empty the can at intervals linked to the type of journey (etc) so placement is important. Having forgotten once, I took it off and put a piece of washing machine hose from the cover down behind the cam-belt cover. No problems with MOT.

Depends on the can - but probably about £40. But will come with pipes, clamps, bracket & catch tank.

What size connecting pipes do you use on the tank itself

The hose I used for my first kit was about 30mm, but I can't remember I'll have to go measure it!!! :-)

I have read on that thread that 19mm is used quite sufficiently for the job as long as its oil resistant. Personally I would vent to atmosphere and block the inlet manifold as many have done.

Looks like it will be 19mm hosetails i get then.

Thanks for all your replies

this is mine nice and neat catch tank was £30 the rest was pennies

and then a pipe end bung for inlet manifold

and with engine cover on

job done
