    show me your oil catch tank mounting scenario

    ran a search but came up empty. (my technique is suspect I'm sure) I'm looking for suggestions for mounting an early windshield washer reservoir that's being converted to oil catch tank duty. I am not running a stock air cleaner assembly if that makes a difference. all help appreciated.

    excellent!
    the fastening angle doesn't appear to be available, but fabbing one up won't be difficult.
    thanks again.

    Take 2 of the tabs used on the fender bolts for holding in the perlon, remove the snaps, bend them 90 deg. use the factory diagram for location placement, and for the rubber strap with wire ends, use 356C fuse panel strap...you got it

    Somebody had some red plastic caps which were OK. The originals are red rubber with an aeroquip logo.
