Oil Catch Can

from reading various threads about using one on the n18 it appears they "work" to some degree but has anyone installed one on their r60 yet ?
also, looking at the mounting location of the BSH N18 OCC would conflict with a strut brace and possibly the DoS CAI (if it follows the same patterns as their other CAIs) any opinions on this ?

Bump on this. This link shows that the BSH N18 OCC fits the Countryman:

As you say, the question is where to put it? Where does it go on the R56 and why can't we try to mount it in a similar location? Seems to me the only issues are (1) space, (2) the right type of bracket, and (3) enough tubing.

I asked Clint about it and he said there were very few places in the engine compartment to mount it. I know Clint has a lot of projects going on and might not have had the opportunity to mess with it too much. But we've got a lot of good wrenches on here (looking at you, Theta) who might be able to come up with something.

If I knew the dimensions of the can, I could play around with it myself to see what I come up with.
