This Week in the Shop : Episode 5 designing new AE86 parts.

This week I spend time in my office designing new parts. I took the feedback from our first oil catch can and design a new oil catch can / overflow bottle combo. I also made a 20v distributor plug, and work on designing a new billet window crank. This crank will be designed to work on both Toyotas and older Hondas.

Regarding the inlet to the catch can, would it be better to have both inlets at the same horizontal level to maximize capacity? And for the outlet, instead of an integral hose barb, why not have a -10 orifice to accept a 10AN ORB, but then include a 10AN ORB to 1" hose barb? Users who are wanting to keep a closed system could then forgo the barb and could use a 10AN ORB to 6AN barb and connect to their plenum. For interior parts, I'm liking the window rollup handle. Will the knob be aluminum, or could delrin be a possibility? Have you thought about making new rear seat pull-to-release knobs? That was something that had broken on my last Corolla and it was impossible to find a suitable replacement.

This is all really good feedback, thanks

[@johnrussakoff]

The knob will be aluminum but I could possibly make a delrin one in the future.

Hello! by chance do you know if the AE86 beams engine/trans mounts would fit in the RA64 body. thank you for your time!

I’m sorry but it does not.
