    Good job @Cuppa. You have ample room. My whole battery and DC-DC assembly is where your catch can ended up.
    I only have one vacuum tank, at the spot where you have two. So thats roughly where mine will end up.

    While we're at it ... Do you know / Have you measured the barb sizes needed exactly? I see you've ordered 25mm -> 16mm reducers.
    Is the hose bar at motor end AND the air intake hose end the same? 16mm ?
    I'm a little confused what size hoses are needed exactly.

    You're so kind @Hodge . FWIW if I'd welded something up it would have looked even worse, would've needed painting, & weighed more into the bargain.

    Yep, both 16mm (5/8"). I've only pulled the hose off the air intake side so far, but it's the same hose & has no flare at the rocker cover end.

    I was a bit concerned that my brass hose joiners may have been too restrictive due to their wall thickness, but when I checked, their ID was identical to the ID of the barb on the intake.

    Ah, so that's what they are - vacuum tanks. I thought they might be something to do emission control. Doh! Wonder why I have two when one is sufficient on yours?

    The lid on mine wouldn’t screw on straight & would keep jumping over the thread no matter how carefully I tried to get it on straight so if yours screws on properly you’re off to a good start - they tell me the Provent filters fit he aftermarket copy cans but I turfed the whole lot out after a few months when the lid wouldn’t stay on & I wasn’t comfortable with the clamp contraption I’d made .

    Those stainless mess filters are not worth a pinch of old cocky shit mate. When I was selling these years back I did a comparo of the mesh unit vs the original fibre filter. at 5000k the original filter would see 125ml of oil on average, I weighed the filter before and after too and noted the weight difference. Using the mesh filter, it only collected 35ml of oil on average and the weight difference was minimal...

    @mudski Ok, got ya. A ton of old cocky shit aint worth much, let alone a mere pinch! I explained this to MrsTea who simply smiled & told me I should get a dinky di filter so have just ordered a genuine (79 buckeroonies - swoon) Provent filter element - fingers crossed it'll fit my filter housing ok or a bit more explaining to MrsTea might be in order.

    To wash out the fibre element I use petrol first, then hot soapy water. I found petrol the best to get the oil out of the element.

    I'm interested in what reducers you will be using.
    I've just had a play with some reducers / hoses I've come up with in our diesel hydraulic mechanics work shop.
    One issue I'm slightly concerned about is the internal hose joiners greatly reduce the internal diameter of the hose . So when a joiner is inserted inside a 16mm hose, the hose gains a 11-12mm internal restriction. If that makes sense.
    Now I don't know what pressure this works under or whether or not this will be of any hindrance.
    I've got the reducing kit pictured below at home but the joiners internal passage is 10mm at most.

    I've also found a hose that reduces internal size along the length . Designed for provent 25mm applications. So just cut where the hose diameter suits and you're set. A bit pricey though.

    @Hodge Yep I saw that kit after I'd ordered my reducers. Probably the one I should have bought if I'd found it earlier.

    I measured the ID of the connection to the air inlet hose & it was exactly the same as the ID of the joiners I have - (approx 11mm /12mm). The Provent is made to be used on a variety of motors,including bigger ones than ours with greater blow-by flow. As I understand it as long as any restriction is no less than the stock TD42 then we should be ok. I can't see any point in trying to fit 1" pipes as there will still be the 11mm/12mm restriction which Nissan use.
