3) I don't see anything I like for oil catch can. Anyone know of any self draining ones ? I have one that drains back to the sump on the plane and it works very well but never found anything similar for the SC. Some company in Australia had one but no longer sell it because of low demands

1. Search plastics companies in your area. You can buy a small sheet of phenolic for not a ton of money and cut it with a bandsaw or jigsaw or scrollsaw or hacksaw. (I'm sure you get the picture.)
2. You can make one or buy them. Very readily available on eBay. You need 6 inlets, one outlet at a minimum. It's just a chamber/reservoir that all your vac lines connect to. Don't overthink it.
3. Get creative. Any overflow can with a port on the bottom can be made to work. Similarly, any catch-can without a port in the bottom can easily be made to have one. Simple is best. I love the idea of draining the catch can back into the sump as long as the oil gets (and stays for a bit) hot enough to burn off any water. In daily-driven (especially non-garaged) cars, draining into the sump isn't a great idea. They condense a lot of water vapor into water which would end up in your sump. I reckon a garaged air-cooled 911 will be just fine. But don't take that as gospel. There are myriad threads on catch-cans here on Pelican and I think they all touch on draining to the sump vs being drained manually.
