What Andy said. If you have a 110, have a look here:

Imho using the standard drain (and replacing the factory cyclone) is probably the best way to go.

I was not happy with pipes running all around the engine bay so I took the provent and my vehicle (RRClassic with 300Tdi) to a local engineering shop, and asked him to make a collar and mount for it, so I could put the Provent in the place of the 300Tdi crankcase breather etc He replicated the crankcase breather mount to the rocker cover, and made a sleeve to go around the Provent. The sleeve was a little tight, so I played with washers between the clamp faces to get it right.

Basically, cut off the top inlet connection, fitted sleeve and rotated Provent so as the inlet manifold outlet was facing back, locked sleeve in place, drilled hole in Provent to match new inlet position.

Here are a couple of pics.

Hi Michael

any chance you could take a closer up shot of the Collar and mount and post it up ??

Thanks for that, it looks like the best and neatest fit, I also didn't like the way both inlet and outlet faced the same way, pity the didn't design it so it could be swiveled,well that gives me the basics and now I can try to duplicate the clamp. any chance of some more pics?

Image #1 shows the o ring (covered in goop) and clamp
Image #2 shows the cut off inlet pipe and you can see the clamp/bracket covering the hole
Image #3 lets you see part of the hole drilled in Provent opposite the bracket (partly obscured by shadow).
The clamp strap is made of 1/16" steel, doubled over at the clamp. The bracket is brazed on, and inside filed to ensure smooth fitment against the Provent.

nice pics,I thought from your last pics that you had the inlet coming in central,these pics show you do. I was fiddling around getting the angle as on the original, would this make a difference?
