What accessories do you have in the engine bay now?
Stock airbox?
Intercooler?
Dual batteries?
Twine shower anything like that?

and what size can do you have to fit up. :)

Then people have a clearer view of where to suggest. :)

It doesn't really matter what I have in my engine bay all I am after is ideas from other people of where they have mounted their catch can

Put it right behind the left hand headlight, great spot.

GU-GQ-Patrol, if you have a turbo on a TD42 I'd advise against fitting an oil catch can. I fitted one to my AXT turbo'd TD42 and the ute immediately started blowing heaps of white smoke from the exhaust at idle. Removed the catch can and problem went away. And I'm not the only one who has had this problem. PM me if you want more details....

Cheers

Blowing smoke after fitting a catch can? Man thats weird.

catch can proberly flowed to little and the crankcase pressure went up blowing oil past the rings or turbo seals.
turbo model especially as there is more blowby.

main point is put it somewhere where hoses don't get too hot and where you can get a container under it to drain it with one hand while undoing the plug with the other hand.
