Got the oil catch can finally fitted. Took a bit of buggerising around to find all the components (finding 1" oil resistant hose proved difficult). Went with 19mm oil resistant hose as it fits snug into Provent 200 outlets/inlets and used some shrink wrap. Brass reducers to ½" hose. Found out during assembly that only the hose from engine to ½" and the other connection near the air filter (mind my ignorance of the correct terminology) is actually around 15-16mm, hence requiring another reducer (lucky I had seem 19mm hose spare).
A friend made the bracket for the oil catch can at work (he did a great job - made from 1 piece of stainless steel). Avoided installing in the space left for the 2nd battery (so I can install one at a later date), but tricky as there are a bunch of little pipes in the area (again not sure what they are for - air con? power steering?) so they needed to be negiotiated.
Next is the gauges (and likely 2.75" exhaust).
Most likely took me a lot longer than most (being a novice) but thoroughly enjoyed and learnt a little on the way.
Thanks for all the tips and advice on the forum, could not have done the job without it.
