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)

Some smog hose and /6 tank questions.

I take it the vent off the oil tank itself goes to the top of the crankcase and is a 25mm ID hose
Is this correct?
And should this have the factory one way valve (PCV)? and should this be going engine to the tank?

The other vent that comes off the filler neck, to the puke tank and then to carbs, correct?
The outlet off my filler neck is again 25mm, but does it need to be 25mm ID hose to the carbs?
Seems to me you could use a much smaller hose.

The hole opening in rain hats is only 20mm and to me this would really only need to be standard 12mm ID smog hose.
Sure would bring down the cost on breather hose, the 25mm is $30 a meter and the 12mm is only about $12 a meter.

I don't know what the vent hose size is going into the stock MFI, CIS, motec intakes, can someone clear that up for me as well. Does this hose step down in size? Or is it 25mm (ID) as well

I'm using a DWD oil tank which I believe has all the same fitting locations and sizes as a stock tank.
Ben does your tank also have the vent holes in the same location as stock?

I hope to fix the prototype tank this weekend and I need to order hose.

Yes Mark same as stock on my tanks..
