Good job getting the Provent installed!! A bit of work, but I think it's worth it - well done.

Does anyone have a CAD file for the adapter plate??

Would anyone be interested in the PCV plate and possibly a novel solution for the drain?

I'm thinking of having a small fabricator make a small run of parts.

I think there would be a lot of interest.

Aerickson95 over @ e90 has come up with the best design I have seen so far for the cover. Since these were made for the 335d, we would want the outlet location to face the windshield instead.

That seems much more elaborate than necessary.

My plan was to do more like OP, but to have the plate CNC'd. A threaded hole would be added for a brass elbow. The risk of galvanic corrosion between the brass elbow and aluminum plate would be mitigated by use of an appropriate thread sealant and the nature of the application.

Of course, that's why I like it so much! However, I could understand that cncing plate as opposed to decent sized chunks of aluminum would be much more cost effective.

Ok, guys. I'm obviously at the very very early stages of this. I think if we do just the plate, possibly with a generic elbow fitting, the price point should be under $50. (Just a guess)

My plan would be to have my guy make 5-10 of these, then I will kit them together and make them available for sale. I'm not going to ask for a group buy or down payments or anything because I've seen people try that and it seems to end in hostile feelings when deadlines are missed, etc.


If these do really well, and folks want something more elaborate, I also know a guy that does anodizing.


As for the drain, I'm toying with the idea of making a sandwich plate for one of the turbo drain line fittings. But until I do some more research, I'm not sure if that's even feasible.

Well, after having my charge pipe off this afternoon, I'm moving this job up my list. My intake is soaked with oil.
