I second that!
Tony found a catch can that was used in a 50's-60's era sprint car at a swap
meet. The can was too tall so he modified it to fit the battery box in my
TR3. It's a work of art.

A lot of that kind of stuff gets hand built. Tony Garmey does
beautiful pieces to solve problems like that. It's not cheap though,
but you'll wind up with a catch tank that you can put in the living
room to stare at during the off season. Tony runs Horizon Racing:
