Tired of having breathers spit oil all over my valve covers, so I made a quick and cheap catch can setup.
Got a 6ft length of 3/4" heater hose with 2 elbows and a T. All found in the "Help!" section at autozone/etc... The hose was $6 and the elbows and T were around $10.
Picked up an aluminum water bottle in the clearance bin at Walgreens... $5
I drilled the top to fit a grommet, and the side to thread in the hose barb.
A little sanding (it was a pink water bottle ) and its good to go!
Been doing a bunch of other little projects too:
I replaced the headlamp warning light with a low oil pressure light. It comes on at 20psi or less. Sprayed some yellow tint on a piece of lexan and cut out an exclamation point (the traditional oil symbol is way to hard to cut out that small).
High quality picture:
Also got my bubble filter assembly to fit under my BB/LT1 hood... I had to do a bit of trimming to drop the base even more. I had to cut out two small holes for the fuel bowls, but other than that, the base clears all of my throttle linkage and fuel inlets
No pictures of my last project yet, but I got a roll of Alcantara that Im in the process of wrapping my headliner and A-pillar pieces with. The t-top center panel is getting a homelink garage door opener molded in too. :waxer: :waxer:
