Cheap Oil Catch Can Thread?

Does anybody remember seeing this thread around? It was like a normal looking OCC that cost around $35. I've been looking for 20 minutes and can't find it.

1) I don't understand why people are so rude.
2) This one isn't it. There was another one in the 'Beneath the Bonnet' Forum I think and was a metal OCC. Anybody?

Suggesting you do a search is not RUDE.

It is when I stated in my first post that I had searched for 20 minutes already.

I'm almost certain there was another one that some people were claiming was very similar in appearance to the M7 OCC.

You're right, what was I thinking - asking for help from somebody who might happen to remember what I was talking about rather than spending a substantial amount of my time looking for something that I could not find. Advice taken.

I've noticed lately that there are a decreasing amount of helpful people on this board but a growing constituency of people with a greater-than-thou attitude.

I hardly find the fact that somebody posting a thread that comes up in the first page of results of me typing in 'oil catch can' in the search engine and then implying I'm an idiot or lazy helpful. Nor the person who then follows up with the same commentary.

Was that a whole 20 minutes !!!

Your notion of help is - can someone please find the thread for me? I don't want to spend a substial amount of my time but if you wouldn't spending yours.

I'm sorry if that's how you take it, but that's not how I meant it. I asked if anybody remembered the thread I was talking about. I was hoping that somebody maybe had it bookmarked, remembered the OP's handle, the actual title of the thread or had a better lead than 'oil catch can,' which is the only thing I remembered about the thread. I would never expect somebody to go search for it.

The problem is that while you may have not meant that many do.

Now if your looking for a cheap OCC which is M7 like - check out ebay.

Somewhere along the way the thread morphed into a defense of character and maybe I'm weird, but I find my character worth defending.
