Nice. Swagelock is good stuff. I was looking at a Swagelock drain for mine but the stuff I was finding was $75, which is a bit more than I want to spend on a drain valve.

Great idea ! Just changed oil and draining the can is a pain .
Plus I didn't know that the breathers would cause fuel issues. . I guess I'll put the stock cap back on for now.

I'm going to be doing this on Friday I think. It appears that no matter what I do my valve on my RX doesn't close completely anymore. Very annoying.

It certainly is.... That is why some manufacturers have included a similar type of drain valve on their catch cans.

They sure do, the team was here Yesterday to fine tune the bracket system.

Turns out there are 2 different thickness radiators so they will now come with both brackets.

It's hard to see from the photo but the shut off handle looks like it swings toward the threaded nipple to open the valve. If so, the handle would contact the bottom of the catch can before opening fully.

I think your right! Shit,...

Maybe I'll just modify it and flip the handle to the other side so it'll swing downward.

I got mine at lowes in the are that they sell air tools since technically that's what this valve is for.
