The oil seperator would not fit where it originally went. It also would not fit on the back of the engine using the original bracket.

I decided to take it apart, and rebuild the same thing but a slighty different size to mount on the back of the engine.


1. Here is where it originally went. I places the downpipe close to the engine to make more space for my legs.
  
2. This is the space where it once went.

3. Drain pipe moved over to the side.
  
4. This is where I want it to go.

5. I first wanted to try to remove just the bracket.
  
6. Even using my largest spot weld cutter, this was a no go.

7. First cut was along the center line.
  
8. Top baffle.

9. All apart. two levels of baffles are all it has in it.
  
10. Stacked back together.

11. Bottom drain with the side piece on.
  
12. Down inside.

13. Bottom completed.
  
14. Outside main body.

15. First baffle layer.
  
16. Second baffle layer, and an extra one in the top vent area.

17. Final outside shape.
  
18. Bracket attached.

19. In place with the hoses in place.
  
20. Tried grinding down the welds, and ground a bit too far.

21. Smoothed down a bit.
  
22. Primed.

23. Painted and drying.
  
24. In place and mounted.

One step closer.

More to come. Trans tunnel are almost done but there's a little more before I can put the page together.
