You can get some very nice alloy pushbike water bottles for a couple of quid,
Wilkinsons do them, A good Locost job,

I made mine today! 99p drinks bottle, a few pipe fittings and a little breather filter. Total cost is under a fiver!

Got mine off ebay for £25. Nice alloy number that can be taken apart if needs be for cleaning.

I have daisy chained my three breathers with 10mm i/d hose and connected them to my catch tank in a single 10mm port. The breather mounted on top sorts out the vapours.

martin, all you need is the main vent from the top of the crankcase / gearbox. i got a piece of pipe from A.S.K. for a couple of quid and a nice alloy water bottle from halfrauds. the alloy water bottles weigh a lot less than the bespoke items. Just remember to open the top of the bottle or better still remove the disk under the top of the bit you drink out of.
cheers

How are you mounting the bottles? Giant P-clip?

Hi just a small reminder to thoes thinking of doing some trackdays that usually it is a min 1 litre size catch tank required and certinaly is for thoes thinking of doing the ocasional sprint.
