Have you tried the unit you made out yet? Curious if you will need a very tiny hole(almost pin hole size) near or around the cap for proper flow. Seems all the reservoirs or the caps have a tiny hole to function. I have not drilled mine yet but will in a few days when I take it off the car again.

Nice work though ,looks great .

i have full access to the cap from the backside of the cai tube nothing needs to be removed plenty of room for my hands i will just use a funnel to prevent spills of course

yea works great the cap comes with a breather hole already im very happy with the results as far as filling the reservoir its easy i have plenty of hand room and access to get to the cap from the backside of the cai just using a funnel to fill

i will post a pic of the install from straight above to give you a better idea of how easy it is to access and fill

as you can see there is plenty of room to get your hand in there to remove the cap from the backside of the cai plus i have a $3.00 funnel from walmart that has a measuring cup on top with a flexible hose that has a open and close valve. so filling it is a breeze. you can also just remove the oil cap and pop off the cover and get plenty of room that way also

Sounds good. I will drill a small hole in mine then. The small aluminum box I used is sealed and the cap is chrome. Really like what you made up here. The clamp idea for the motor is great. Wish you put this post up a few days ago I would have done that clamp idea too.
