Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Bought, rather quickly(!) from another member, before I'd worked out where it was going to go! I never did fit it, though it's had a bit of light use previously. One litre capacity, it's got the breather/filter top - the bit that looks like a red plastic cap, so no separate filter required. Two inlet barbs for push on hose - they srew in though, so can easily be swapped for -AN type screw fittings. Sight gauge on the other side for checking level and a drain bung on the bottom. A Mocal original will set you back upwards of £110. Yours for £50 (inc postage to WSCC members). Here's the inside of the breather cap!
CrisisWolf Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Never quite sure how these connect up. I have two feeds into a plastic container at the moment. This looks like just the two connections - like what I have.
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 That's quite common, one from the block, one from the head. Though engines do differ, some run only from the head, with the block connecting to the head, then the head connecting to the tank. The tank is flexible enough to do both, the spigots both unscrew, so if only one is required, you could fit a blanking plug, or use both, whatever suits.
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 Just been asked about dimensions, so will share... The total height, including cap and drain plug is 150mm, the height of the body only is 115mm The width including mounting brackets is 172mm, while the (maximum) width of the tank body is a gnats under 135mm. Front to back including mounting brackets is 90mm.
wackydo Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Dave, This is just what I've been looking. I'll have this please if it's not already gone. Pm me payment details and I'll give you my address. Thanks. Tony
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 25, 2015 Author Posted March 25, 2015 Sorry Tony, looks like it's sold.
Onliest Smeg David Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 Sold to me! But those wanting a nice 1l Aluminium Oil Catch tank, can purchase the one it's replacing (purely due to different dimensions (cylindrical - taller and narrower, roughly 220mm tall including breather / 100mm diameter)) Anyone wanting further details PM me your email. 1
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 Nipped over to see David's (OnliestSeg's) car at BLiNK, (he was the first to get in touch), unfortunately it didn't fit where he wanted it to go, so I brought the tank back with me. Now back up for sale!
the stoat Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 You can mount very neatly on the scuttle using Westfield coolant tank brackets for those that are interested. 1
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 26, 2015 Author Posted March 26, 2015 That's useful to know.
