Hiya, the cans are all over eBay. I've had this one about 10 years meant for another car. It was quite fiddly as there is not masses of room. The prevent would not fit. I'll get more pics.

Some oil is still blowing straight through this can. The baffle is just a simple perforated plate. So will make mods at some point.

Correction, it IS working, just got full and some stuff coming past. Wow. This is with a new PCV valve fitted. I'm going to arrange some sort of drain on it.
