Abf twin carbs oil breather catch can solutions

Post

Back to the top
So I have completed my abf build now wondering what to do with the oil breather? Currently I have a crude set up of silicone hose and a k and n filter which does the job but it is not how I want it. So I have looked at catch cans but which one to use I don't want a oily mess under the bonnet which my current set up will give me. So what has everyone used. Pics would also be great with where purchased etc cheers all.

I did mine like this, bought the biggest catch can I could find and modified it by adding an internal baffle and changing the dual (smallish) inlet ports to a single 32mm inlet port. Made up a bracket to mount it to the side of the head and made up the breather pipe using readily available 32mm silicone bends and 32mm alu tubing. It works a charm, no mess and easy to empty out. I'm trying to stick to biggish diameter piping to keep the airspeed down, if you choke it down the airspeed goes up and that tends to froth up the gunk in the tank, pushing some out the breather filter.

I'm from SA so no clue where you would be able to find something like this…
