Until redoing my engine bay, I couldn't put my catch can where I wanted it. Relocating the catch can meant exposing the old catch can mounting holes and figuring out a way to secure the braided lines while protecting my paint. I considered buying a 'Y' fitting, but no such thing exists. I thought about using a 'T' fitting, but that would have been ugly. After spending some time in my garage looking at the engine bay with my buddy, he came up with the idea of a custom manifold.
Step 1:
Head off to Mopac Auto Supply and spend way too much money on fittings and 4 feet of braided 3/8" ID line, while my buddy found a suitable piece of aluminum to machine.
Step 2:
Spend a couple of hours to manually machine the custom manifold, assemble and photograph.
