Title: Catch Tanks
Post by: Alex on August 11, 2013, 11:08:20 PM
Annoyingly, having had the damned thing for eight years, I seem to have lost my PSD oil catch tank. It's vanished.

Looking at the ones that are all over eBay, they've all got smaller inlets than mine had/has.

What size do I need, and does anyone know where to get a suitable one?

Thanks.

Was that psd old website? Quite interesting how prices have changed since then.

Alex i got my catch tank custom made from R-Spec alloy (i think) and was £50. I gave them all my sizes and two inlets for breathing, 1 x 25mm and one with a 8 jic fitting, breather of 15mm, sight tube, sump plug and it has baffles inside. Found them on ebay, if i can find them or their email address i will pass it on.

Cool, I'll check them out. :)

Is it Spec-R?

And yeah that's the old PSD site. Quite useful to be able to backtrack and view it like that.

Delayed reply - probably on the chassis leg near the coil.

Still no joy finding the PSD one, it's pissing me off now.

Is there a way of making a temporary one?
