i got a idea today and went with it. i started with a 20 oz. co2 canister for a paintball gun. i made sure it was empty, unscrewed the valve, and went to lowes. i got a hose shutoff valve that srewed in place of the valve sop i can drain it easily. i will attach a hose to the right fenderwell for easy draining. i also got 2 5/8"X1/2" brass fittings. on end is barbed and the other is threaded. i then drilled and tapped 2 holes on opposite sides of the bottle, one at the top(bottom of bottle, is top of can), one about 3" down. i then installed a 1 1/2" piece of 3/8" copper pipe into eachfitting so they would pass each other. then i used aircraft paint remover to strip the paint and polished the aluminum bottle with a brillo pad. now if you are using it as just a catch can, only drill one hole in side and drill 2nd on top. i will be using a gm electric vacuum pump to make crankcase vacuum. so i wanted it solid. to mount it i bought whats called a cowboy strap. it fits perfect around the bottle in a c shape and has 2 "wings" sort-to-speak with a hole already drilled. when mounted will post more pics heres some pic and feel free top ask ?'s
