Breather

I made a catch can out of an aluminum water bottle that came with a bracket to mount to a bicycle frame. Close out shop for like $5.00. I cut the handle off the lid, drilled a hole in the middle of it and mounted a breather in the hole. The breather element I bought at Pep Boys designed for a small block Chevy. Look in the bling aisle.

From there I drilled a hole near the top of the bottle and put a white plastic 90 degree fitting that secures on the inside of the bottle. I bought that at Lowes.

After mounting the bracket to the firewall, I snapped in the bottle and connected it to the oil breather with a piece of clear hose. Works great. Although with the paranoia in California, I'd check to see if something like that is legal.
