Skunk2 Manifold: Throttle cable bracket using a GSR cable and a $3 piece of AL
Old setup a Civic TB rotor and some other throttle cable brackets I pieced together.
The replacement bracket made from a aluminium bar.

Looks good 
As for the breather filter..Ive heard the same thing...that its better to run a tube to the inatke (like stock) so that when sucking in air through the intake, it also pulls vapors from the valve cover. Just having a breather there doesnt suck up the vapers anymore.

Sucking up the vapors is a smog issue, not a performance issue. The E.P.A wants you to recirculate those gases and attempt to burn them before releasing them to the atmosphere. By putting the filter there instead you eliminate the vapors and oil residue and instead get fresh air. Have you ever looked inside the intake and throttle body on a car, all that oily residue is what is fed into your motor. I say filter, just not smog legal

But you are right about the oily residue on the intake piping and the throttle body. Hmmmm.
