After 6 years dithering, & getting the necessary confidence from here, I've finally taken the plunge.
The job was much simpler than I expected & I made a point of taking photos because I know how much you all love them! I tried to keep the cost down as much as I could (this may be somewhat obvious but I enjoyed the challenge).
The photos are self explanatory, but it's worth commenting that the bracket is a piece of alloy angle(ex child's buggy!), the 90deg. bends are 1"alloy pipe (ex camping chair!) & a 90deg 16mm domestic brass pipe fitting (minus the nuts & olives!) was used to connect into the intake pipe. Where necessary fittings were 'bushed-up', using suitable size rubber pipe, to give a 1" o/d. For now, a .5L bottle is dangling from the drain connection just for trials (they don't call me 'bodger' for nothing LOL).
It should be noted that the air filter housing needed 3 webs reducing to accomodate the bracket.
The most difficult thing was obtaining the 1M of 1" bore pipe.
Photo 1: webs removed from housing
2: mounting bracket
3: bracket & catch can mounted to housing
4: ditto
5: all piped-up
6: ditto
Just need to test it now.....fingers crossed!
HELP!!!!!: can't figure out how to load other 5 photos
