Cheers guys, appreciate the response.

Already on the way from Australia (Surprisingly fast), will probably have it by Monday. I think it has some sort of "Gauze" which I presume is Steel Wool already in the top right baffle.

I think the top outlet is for the breather filter. Is there an advantage to this?

I had a look today, and to be honest, I'm not sure where I'm going to put this hahaha. Might remove the charcoal canister and put it there. Not too much space in my engine bay currently, but it'll be somewhere around that area. I would love that filler neck Levi has, but that's down the line.

Obviously there is the in from the valve cover and out to the intake to produce the vacuum to pull things through however if emissions are ignored then you don't need to plumb it back into the intake and just let the vapour vent through a filter on the outlet as the crank case produces the pressure to force the oil vapour out to the catch can and vent out the filter. Some even just slap a filter onto the valve cover and call it done.

Still be keen to see what the top bolt is for.

Been a while since I updated this forum,

but finally fitted it after all this time.

See the pics:

I fitted it by attaching an L bracket from Bunnings that I think is used for steel trusses, spray painted black, drilled and bolted to the filler neck bracket.

Fited in quite a good spot IMHO, was going to put it where the charcoal canister is, but not enough space, even if I did remove it.
