    I wanna sell those radium-catching-cans........ lead shielding?

    Speaking of hi-tech catch cans.....

    My first aftermarket Catch-Can was for Power Steering fluid on my early 1993. I discovered I needed it during my first track day. 5/93

    I used an aluminum 35mm Film Canister, with a screw-on cap. [Remember Those?] and some salt-water-aquarium air-hose line.

    I drilled a hole in the canister cap, inserted the air line, and used silicone-sealer around that hose-fitting. The hose slipped right over the P/S cap vented nipple. I zip-tied the canister within EZ reach.

    After a track day, I would find about 1/4 teaspoon of PS fluid in the canister. Wipe Out, and go again. Worked for years. But I got MUCH better about siphoning fluid regularly and cleaning the PS cap and reservoir threads.

    I still chuckle about those other PS vent kits whose tubes vent hot PS fluid down to the ground....UNDER YOUR TIRES !!
