Last year the catch can was installed in a temporary matter. Now it was time to install it permanently in its new location.
The new location is roughly where the OE radiator overflow/refill tank was located. Since the oil catch can is one of a vertical design not requiring a lot of room we thought this was a good location for it.
So some permanent studs where installed.

A custom made aluminium bracket was made.

An aluminium bolt was used to secure it in place.
