Just weld the CC to the base of an old coffee thermos and stick it in your cup holder! :biggrin5:

I made a small bracket to hang mine as shown above. It fits under a bend in the intake plumbing. See below.

I wouldn't be concerned about the plastic tab breaking, but you obviously are, couldn't you just build a metal bracket, reinforcing the little plastic tab on the firewall? That spot is a real convenient place to mount a catch can. I mounted my BSH Oil Catch Can there two years ago and it is just fine. Even if the plastic tab does break, the hoses to the can will prevent it from going anywhere and then I'd just make a metal bracket to go in the same place and remount it.

#1 When I bought it, the BSH OCC wasn't available...... Been sitting on my desk for a long time, wondering were it was going to fit..... Got tard of looking at it and decided I was going to pound that can in there somewhere.....
#2 Small can has a limit to surface area..... Large can has the ability of adding many more layers of surface area without necessarily increasing the pressure drop. You want the oil laden air to have a chance to attach to the filter screens (no steel wool in this can). When the fumes enter a large container the velocity slows down and fumes have a longer dwell time to attach and separate from the air. An analogy; If your MINI had a bigger front end.... You might be hitting a lot more raccoons.....
Besides, in retrospect.... if everyone is using the same OCC, there is no comparison to better or worse???:ihih:-

Yeah but.....
I was wondering how long it was going to take for that slip to pop up......
My other option is to just "eBay It", but where is the challenge to that?
I mean..... After all, I'm putting together my own "DeCarbon Master Blaster" outfit that I'll be able to remove the buildup on the intake valves when ever I want....:ihih:-

Had a little free time today......
Chopped up my OCC.... I guess I modded my mod......
Took out 1-1/2" of can height, put it back together and added my brackets and mounts....
Decided to suspend it from my strut tower brace.
Tight fit, but still clears everything in the general vicinity....
Now I need to get some hoses and still need to make a few fittings.

Your reasoning seems sound and the workmanship is top notch, as always. Shortening the holding area should cause no problems.
If they still had ful service gas stations, you could tell the person to "check my oil and my OCC please".

Sounds like a long hose to the boot is in order...

Hang it on the outside, like on the scuttle, it'd look kind of like the air filter on semi trucks!

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:
