Well I made my own catch can today. I'm no pro so be gentle. Lol.

I'm waiting on the 10an male fittings to show up so I can finish it.

 

Not bad

If you keep with the fabrication projects, it looks like you'll want a disc grinder and/or belt sander soon.

 

Ya a belt sander would b awesome. We have disc grinders already. I work on semis so I just use what we have a lot of times you just have to improvise.

 

Got the male 10an fittings welded on today.

 

looks real well polish it it lets see the finished product

 

It isn't the prettiest catch can i've seen, but it doesn't look like its going to fall apart either

Function > form

 

very nice..

almost prof job

 

Here's one of the fittings for the back of the block. I'm to cheap to buy the ones on eBay for 40 bucks and I like making everything so I made my own.

 

What threads are on the back? You just cut a bolt?

 

thats the only way to do it and not go broke, never believe that you have to pay a fortune for something when your own is just as good

 

Looks good. Rock it. Built not bought

 

There actually the OEM plugs I drill them out then tig welded the 10an stainless fittings to them. The fittings were $8 a piece 16 total rather than 40.

 

Well got it all done tonight and installed.




I also measured the block box hole in one of my spare blocks before work and picked up a 34.3 mm freeze plug at auto value for $.89 compared to one for 8.50 on sleezebay.

 

Being that low it will not drain back well and will likely fill up and make a mess. I had one mounted there before and wasn't long changing the location.

 

Its not a drain back setup I have a petcock in the bottom.

 

Petcock hehe, had to lol. Looks good wish I could weld

 

nice idea is that bung you welded to stainless also the pice you welded the new fitting to ?

 

Yes the bung is stainless. But the factory plug is not.

On a second note I have desided to change the setup already. I am going to be converting it to a evacuation kit I just need another 10an weld on and a 10an hose end. And am going to add a 6an to the can from the valve cover.
