Here is my solution maybe someone else will find this helpful. I took the bracket that was used to hold the old vapor canister can sand blasted it repainted and made a stainless steel water bottle to fit it. Here is a pic of the setup if you might be intersted in doing something similar. http://elcaminocentral.com/albums/Engine/P1010010.sized.jpg _________________ 71-Elky Works in progress..

On those shroud strips, is that something you cut up out of sheet stock? Or are they a store bought item? If so, what store?
