Default RCM Catch Tank V1-V6

I am looking in purchasing the rcm catch tank which on its own is a resonable price, but the price for the fitting kit and plumb back to sump is rediculous.

http://www.rogerclarkmotorsport.co.u...productID=2330

Is there anywhere I can get the fittings and braided line cheaper for the plumb back to the sump in particular cheap but same quality?

Also will the fitting at the sump be quite low and would it catch anything on the road?

Thanks

I've got one of these, really wouldn't pay that for them though, got mine second hand. For much less there is better out there, pretty sure spec r make something that looks exactly the same

I dont mind paying for the tank it self as it top quailty and made for the classic with a/c still fitted , all other options I have used so far are just no up to the job.

Any opinions on the sump drain ground clearance?

Pretty sure they are made by spec r for them.

I didn't bother with return to sump, don't want it going back in after looking at what comes out. Mine goes out after

Fair enough, but £120 under RCM price is a bit cheaper unless you can get them elsewhere cheaper?

Didnt see they didnt supply fitting kit, I bought some black hose and used that for the breather pipes, got it from think automotive and from memory was only about a tenner, then its just the return to sump part that they can make up for you also fairly cheap, don't have to pay RCM prices.

Just an option there, I'd guess at around £30 if you made the kit up yiurself

Its a fully forged 2.5 mate , and also power/torque isnt the issue, its oil coming out of the breathers on track under hard cornering which is filling my current mickey mouse catch can.Time to buy something proper for it. Thanks for the input though
