Default AMW catch can mounting solution...(dial up beware)

Hey guys, I spent some time at a lathe-mill and came up with this solution for a mount for the AMW catch can. It's made out of 6061 and it was my first production from a mill so it is kinda rough. Let me know what you think...

You all know and love the AMW catch can...



And here is the bracket off and on the car:

















Would anyone be interested in somthing like this?

Well, I dont know how much I should or could charge. It was a lot of work to make two, (one for me and my dad). I may be able to get someone to make them, and it would probably be a resonable cost. If there are enough people interested I will do the research and make it happen.

No offense, but there's at least 2 people, plus AMW, selling brackets for these cans. The market may be a little...flooded shall we say?

It would kinda be like deciding to start manufacturing chassis tunnel plates for C5s

Nice piece, still.

I don't think the site admins would like links to non-supporting vendors. However, just go over to ls1tech.com and do a search for AMW catch can. Over 100 threads on the topic.

I know AMW sells their bracket for $25, I think some other guys were selling their own versions for ~$25-30.
