Had a look and second hand are now asking as high as $400!!

I paid stuff all, but the harness is very “how ya goin’.” Perfect as something to work from.

Found a catch can for $50!
Was sceptical, however I am pleasantly surprised.

Fits like this. (Not on my car. Same catch can though)

That bracket fits to the head. It’s designed for it and no drilling or mods required. Have to move the harness earth to the next bolt hole.

Holds 750ml. Sits perfectly to plumb the PCV in.

Solid aluminium. Quite thick. Gaskets seem tight as. Gave the bolts a tweak.

I won’t fit it until it’s registered.

Would they need a pipe in to the bottom? Also would I put a pot scrubber in there to help collect the vapour?

Love this sort of thing. @MACE threw a sticker in with the package. It might go on the little man’s drink bottle for school. He likes it.

Sometimes a seller might throw in a lolly. It’s a nice touch.

Rocker bolts for when I do the trunnions.

Excellent price. I figure why not. Next to look for a good balancer. Prosport or Scat?

I would like to thank @07GTS for the inspiration.

Interesting, I don't know that the rocker bolts were replaced when my trunnion upgrade was done.

The factory ones do apparently. Most after market don’t as far as what I’ve read. Maybe yours were not factory?

Not sure what you mean Fu?

I had bronze bushes fitted, which do away with those pesky factory needle bearings. They still have rocker bolts AFAIK. I can't remember for sure though a it was a long while since I pulled the rocker cover.

The kit may have come with bolts. It was almost two years ago that I bought the trunnion bush kit so can't remember if it came with bolts or not.

I certainly didn't buy separate bolts and was never charged for any.
