Hi Tim,
        I have a single DCOE and have the same issue with the rocker cover.
I have heard mention of using a carbon canister from the emissions equipment
from another Spitfire or even any other vehicle so long as the hose fits.
Even better, I believe it was Vic Whitmore that had done some extensive work
in connecting his cover via a hose & fitting tapped into the intake. His
website was at http://www.vicwhit.com/ - but seems to be down right now as I
try to reach it.
His email is Vic Whitmore [vicwhit@rogers.com] (Vic I hope you don't mind me
passing this on). 
        I have not yet resolved my situation either, as I am just not too
excited about drilling into the intake - but it seems the right way to go.
HTH.

Hi list,
Happy New Year!
Since puting the webers on  my spit I have had a redundant breather pipe
from my rocker cover. Currently it is just vented down to the road. Is
there a cleaner way of sorting it? Perhaps some sort of catcher?
Cheers
Tim
