    sport purposes plug and play oil breather tank

    I have been messing around making up a breather tank to match the porsche style but with a cleaner look. What I have put together fits nicely into the engine bay , gives the correct look but has a advantage of plugging the pipes in to the tank rather than the "cut a hole and stick it in " .
    This gives a cleaner look to match the rest of the engine bay but you couldn't tell the spigots are there once the pipes are attached.
    I plan to make a few to add to my site for sale for those who want a plug and play kit.

    What do you guys think

    further finishing ready to make the brackets , i fitted the kit to my 76s back date . this is the comparison between the kit and the oringial layout drawing. i am trying to match it as closely as possible .
    pic 2 shows how when the hoses are attached the spigots vanish and gives a clean correct look but better engineered .

    You might want to coordinate this w/ Marek. If I recall correct (from an email he sent me a while ago) is he also in the process of making these breather cans and will have it available later this year. Two suppliers for a similar item might be too much for the 'market' and might hurt future initiatives for other much wanted parts?

    Just my $.02

    Nice product.

    As shown in your product photo, it appear the breather tank is in series with the crankcase breather and the oil tank. If so, there's little breathing in that location, just a mid-point for oil to accumulate and frequent draining of stored oil. Crankcase pressure should vent directly to the oil tank first; from there to the breather tank where unburned gas vapors and blowby vent to the engine intake or to atmosphere.
