So, I have this rather large SS oil catch can and a rather small MINI engine compartment. Where exactly am I going to mount this thing? OK..... I don't want to remove my stock air filter box to make room. I don't want to relocate my radiator overflow tank. I don't want to hang the can from the flimsy plastic tab holding the alarm switch on the firewall. I don't want long hose runs connecting the can to the PCV track. I don't want to hang it outside on the scuttle like the air filter on a semi truck. I don't want a catching can on the front bumper. Justa Jim likes filing cabinets, Sorry.... not on my MINI..... Here is a pic of the OCC 3" diameter x 7" tall
Hang it on the outside, like on the scuttle, it'd look kind of like the air filter on semi trucks! Dave
Soooo, A plan is coming together. Took a few measurements, Did a little layout, Punched a few holes.....
Mount it on the front bumper for that old 60's gas'er look. Now I know why MINI wants to use 3 cyl engines, so there is room for the catching can.... :wink:
Just weld the CC to the base of an old coffee thermos and stick it in your cup holder. And secret compartment. Nope & Nope....
Man that would look so cool too. Guess you can keep it in the secret compartment with your skittles & diet coke. :biggrin5:
:cornut: Flimsy plastic tab on fire wall has been holding my BSH OCC for years and thousands of miles. Nothing was moved or deleted. She sits there snug as a bug in a rug. Short ingress/egress hoses also.(08 R56 MCS/JCWm) Jason
