    A proper catch tank...?

    Been searching hi and low - but none seem to have what i feel a catch tank should have......
    - Internal baffles/large area for condensation
    - Drain plug/connection to sump
    - 2 inlets
    - 1 exit/connection to air box

    The typical mocal is out of the question.
    Theres lots on the internet but they almost all miss one or more of the listed features.

    Any ideas for what i should get?

    I had this requirement last year on our kit car, doesn't appear to be any out there at a reasonal price.

    The closest I came with Car Builder Solutions (really helpfull) - all of there catch tanks have an M10 drain, for which they will happily fit a 10mm journal to for the drain back to the sump. They also sell suitable Y junctions to enable you to join the block breather and cam breather before plumbing into the catch tank.

    Hope that helps
