Where can I get a catch can?

I have probably put on 1,000 miles since my VF II was installed, so I probably need to get one fairly soon.
Thanks. Rick

Hey Rick-

If I may suggest a candidate to look at (T1):

Large capacity plus evens out pressure at the top and bottom of the engine. In addition, loads of venting which is inadequate on most cans. Lastly oil drains back to the pan.

Honestly, as long as it will hold fluid you can make a catch can out of anything. Even an old coke bottle (seen it done).

Just buy one off eBay and call it a day. There really isn't anything that can fail on it, since it won't be under pressure.
