Default Now a Brass CatchCan to match the Breathers

I took a small gunpowder flask, added a tube, separator screen and a couple Brass vents. I think it works nicely with the brass breather bolts that I made earlier.

Very cool! But, how does it breathe?

Notice, mine...purcha$$ed from J&P, has a breather on top.

Those two little brass vents on top should let it breath plenty. But I will keep an eye on it.
The cross sectional area of the 2 vents are a lot larger than the small holes in the stock breather bolts.

Nice setup. So many different ways I see people doing these. I'm just happy they're getting that crap out of the intake. Anyone who does engine work or performance mods should reroute the breathers.

I did a horseshoe kit and some 3/8" fuel hose to a small cone breather filter at the bottom of the frame near the voltage regulator/rectifier. Simple and effective. Yours is much fancier.

Thanks a lot There are so many ways to get to the same results. Another reason I built my own (besides wanting brass) was that I wanted to use 1/4 fuel line instead of 3/8 just for a little 'slimmer' look.

Is that attached, or just hangs there? The hose is rigid enough to not swing and bang against the motor? I have been looking at a lot of these on here and that is the nicest looking one I've seen.....well done. Thanks for your service too!
