I think the clear braided line shouldn't be tie strapped down.
Should probably run across the top without any "down" bends or else the oil would collect at the bottom of the tube instead of in the can.
For lack of a better example, the way it looks right now is kind of like a p-trap pipe you often see under bathroom sinks.
Looks good though! Since your "donations" has made Garm a millionaire, you should get MicroImage Sponsorship! LOL :)
I didn't even notice the braille battery until now!

At first glance I thought it was SARD brand :P

thanks for the tip. i'll try and see if it'll still work the way it is. If oil starts to stay in the middle of the hose, i'll reroute.

I like your idea about the microimage sponsorship; however, i'm not really a sticker on my car kind of guy. However, I could change my mind....

looks yummy, nice addition and better to be safe than sorry. I'd definitely keep those lines as short and straight as possible though.

The price isn't bad, I'd love to buy one in blue. Is it a 15mm or 9mm out?

It looks exactly like this D1SPEC Oil Catch Can, rofl... can someone say universal:

Hi all -

This is one of several samples I got to see about quality and fitment, shapes, etc. PeterPoop jumped on the only red SARB we had. I'll be betting more in stock soon and putting them into the online store for "general consumption" -
