Mine goes from the special CMC dual breather casting and both hoses vent the road via.the under-tray. Ideally and responsibly you should vent to a catcher tank as shown in your photo - big ally cylinder. The tanks are available from places like Rob Beers or maybe Demon Tweaks.

Hi All,
I have fitted a Mann+Hummell Provent 200 Catchcan/Separator Kit to my Series 1 4.2 2+2. These are around the AUD$300:00 mark down here, and provide what I consider to be a most satisfactory solution to the venting problem. The unit separates the oil from the vent fumes, and incorporates a (periodic) drain tap, "Dried" gases I then directed to the inlet manifold. Internal filter/separator elements in the Provent unit are replaceable. For various connections (front breather plus I have extra breathers to cam covers.......) I used the aluminium mini-concertina breather hose that SNG list for the XK series cars (C2485/1).
I trust this may assist any Forum members looking for a responsible solution.......
Kind regards,
Norman.
P.S. BTW, beware suspiciously cheap copies on the internet, made in PRC......

Im sure you system works really good but i am looking for a catch can that is more period correct.
I have lots of photos of catch cans from C-Types,D-Types and E-Types Lightweights so i think i am going to fabricate my own.
Cheers

Lee, is it really necessary to keep quoting previous posts? It takes up valuable space and if you do need to quote it can be cut down to just the relevant sentence rather than a complete, long post.

No it is not. Try keeping in tune with the community and their wishes. Most of these guys have been here longer than you and they are hugely knowledgeable so if you want their help go with the flow.

I do not understand use of quote. I was under the impression that is how you reply to someone.
When is it appropriate to use quotes?

Hi Lee...you last post is fine...nothing quoted.....also worth trying to put your name and car model in the signature area......use quotes when you think its needed....but you dont need to quote the whole post,..all the best.. Steve

You normally use the quote function if you are answering a post that is on a different page or many posts earlier. It could also be used if you want to answer a specific question embedded in a long post but to do that you use the quote function and then edit out all the text that is not required.

Is the breather hose also available by the metre? Would be convenient for more frequent replacement, sinde it gets dented quite easily.

Steve, thank you, I ordered from them last time, I thought it to be a bit expensive and would like to buy a roll of say three metres - for that money
