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

[Mark Henry]

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)

Definitely could be interested.
Needs to fit in there nice and tidy and not interfere with any of the air filter housings you normally see on 911 engines.

And needs to have the same size inlet/outlets so you can use a factory vent hose (the expensive one) if desired.

I'm going to offer a couple of fitting versions,
Fittings are a minor issue so I haven't been actively researching them as of yet, just working the Weber rain hat version right now.

I need other dimensions for the inlet and outlets. 1" inlet is standard for the /6, got that. I have the standard hose version for rain hats figured out.
The /4 would only be how many inlets and outlets do I need?
Big one needed is what outlets for stock FI systems and ITG filters, just 25mm for stock and weber fittings for ITG filters?
And where does the stock outlet go direction wise?

I don't want too many "custom" versions, unless I'm being paid extra, but I don't mind say 3 different versions, Weber, stock /6 and /4.

So you're saying stock should be 1" (25mm) in and out? do you have a stock FI /6? Which one?
This fits in the left rear corner of the bay behind and under the hood release cable tube, no problem with Weber's and /4, but I don't know on stock /6 FI.

Right now I'm doing major surgery to the prototype to make it fit the Weber hoses and relocating the inlet. Also I still need to get some 25mm hose, plus I want to test it, so this whole project is at least a month out before I even think about starting production.

Below is how clean I have the hose install to the Weber rain hats, this hose and fittings will be included in the Weber kit. Two separate hose runs, no cross tube, I only like a clean install. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)
