Thanks for the positive comments guys.

sweet. love the catch can mounted to the battery strap.

I've had to relocate this now as I've installed an odyssey pc680 battery and relocated it. Still looking for somewhere to put the catch can.

Did you drive the Prelude to the national meet? Wish people left their engine bay's open when you've got some looking as tidy as this!

No sorry mate, my lude is currently off the road while I'm working on the next stage of the project (slowly). I'm just updating my build thread to show the lude up to its current state.

Beautiful mate Just the right colour balance. Most would have added red rad hoses as well, but I think that always goes too far

got red hoses just haven't fitted them yet. I really wanted white ones but couldn't find them for a 5th gen at the time.

Doh! I'll shut my mouth then

I've got a catch can to fit in my 5th. There's not much room at the bulkhead, although I ws considering juggling a few things, but alternatively I was looking at mounting it by the battery as you have. I'd have to make a bracket up, but how did you do yours? Got any close up pics?

Erm.. Not at the minute, it's sat in the garage somewhere I think. If I can find it it's yours.

Thanks for that bud Although I think I'd need to make up a new one as my mounting holes are different to yours. I can see the hook bolt on one side goes through it, but does it then hook over the top of the battery (under the tie-down bracket)?

That's just given me an idea as I'm asking that as it is!

[farlow]

IIRC it was just a flat strip of aluminium folded over the top of the battery like you said, then folded a couple more times to creat a vertical surface to mount to. I then drilled a hole in each of the horizontal faces for the tie down rod and this kept it located against the battery. The catch can was then mounted to the vertical face. Hope this makes sense.

[NafemanNathan]

Yep, perfect I was thinking I might just redesign the tie down bracket and include the fixings for the catch can

Here we go

Cool. Cheers man
