Well,
from my head, to the card mock up..to a chunk of metal!
Im pretty damn proud of myself actually! This is what enjoy about this SC thing. It should work OK i guess.
I added a copper scrubber to the top, then sealed it in using aluminum wire mesh sandwiched between the two halfs of the assembly. With 4 tack welds on each corner, nothing is going anywhere. I ground down all my welds and it actually looks pretty good!
BTW..if there is anythign wrong with it. I dont want to know.
Im done messing with it!

I will build it my self...yet another "fab" project!
Thank the words FAA and STC for the price..insane for what it really is!.

I love when a plan comes together.
Its done and has just been test fitted. All fits neatly next to and slighlty below the brake resivour/booster area. POIFECT!!Now i get to grind the welds down and add a dose of black wrinkle paint. Took all but 15minutes tops to get welded up. I stood there and held the parts as they were tacked.
And it DIDNT cost me 300-400 bucks either!

I have used one system for years, and recently, tried another "route", and pumped out about 1 full qt of oil...some onto the headers.............not a pretty sight...
Using the valve covers as part of the breather system is not the best way to go. I have also used the oil filler neck with not much better results. Each will produce about 1 pint for each half hour racing. I am working on a system to reduce it to zero without dumping it into the exhaust...although the easy way is becoming attractive!
A DeVore/DEVEK dry sump, as used on other dry sumped 928 racers, is set for the next engine revision.
