I would like to respond to the comment from Elite. I have had two bolt failures with this catch can. In both cases the nut was removed. I did wonder if the shaft was threaded deep enough to allow it to tighten against the block. When I replaced the bolt/stud and reinstalled the catch can, I made sure this was not the case and it broke again. I contacted Elite April 15th and informed them of the problem. Steve's responce...."
Thanks for your email. This IS the first we have heard of this problem. I'll discuss this with out team tomorrow. We also have an alternate mounting location off the radiator shroud if you would like that bracket." They sent me the v-6 mounting bracket and it worked great with some modifications for the V8. I have had no further problems. As stated before, the shaft is too long and the stud cannot live in those conditions.
Thanks..
