Gauging interest for a 914 breather/puke tank, for 914/6 but could be modified to use on any engine combo Options

I built this as my very first aluminum TIG welding project, welds are definitely not up to Ben's standards, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. Bit more practice an I should have decent welds. Also the aluminum was a scrap sheet that been sitting outside for years, so that likely didn't help matters.

But overall seeing as it's my first effort I'm pretty happy with it.
Would do a couple things different for a short run production, use the next size up petcock valve, weld the baffles in a bit different, etc.

I made it to clear the factory trunk springs, but not intrude into the engine bay much. It has a petcock and a tube, so to drain you stick an oil pan under the /6 cooler and open the valve. It's fully baffled and holds over a quart of puke. The barb's are 1" but I could also check out what's involved with using AN fittings.
I would likely have them power coated semi-gloss black.

I have the patterns for it so it would be easy to make more.
I have to check the price of materials, parts, powder coating, etc, but I'm thinking $150-$175, or $200 + ship and I supply the black braid hose and clamps.

So is there any interest? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

its more like steel brillow ,pretty heavy duty stuff and its been a lot of years since the old fella has done that and no breakdown issues. Mine is sealed as well (cant remove the media) with a small 1/4 inch hole in the top with no mist coming out but its there incase the bottom tube plugs up for some reason...I have not found a good way to mount mine yet !don't wanna drill holes ,I see your design is bolted to the rear fire wall , that looks good... I just cant do it that way...was gonna look at mounting under the car ?? but where.... BTW nice work Mr

Yeh.. I hate drilling holes as well, just a a necessary evil. I used riv-nuts, but self tapping screws would also work in a pinch.

If one was totally dead set against drilling holes there's a couple of factory holes close by on the engine/trunk firewall and if I made a bracket you likely could secure that with T bolts. I just don't know if all years 914's had these holes and in the same location.
