That catch can is retarded my friend, sell it to a GK owner and get a good one. The new one I have...
Well, it's perfect.
Anyways, dont' epoxy it, go to Ace Hardware or Home Depot or Lowes, and bring the can with you, get the right bolts.

If you want that can to be useful, remove the bottom barb and plug the whole. Then move that barb above the top one. Drill then either tap it to 1/4"npt (assuming its that, could be 3/8ths npt), or drill the hole big enough and squeeze the fitting in there with a flat o-ring and washer behind it. The last option depends if you are able to hold a nut there.
As for the mounting holes, find the proper bolt, its not rocket science.

Here is a nice Carbon Fiber one with brackets and hardware for only $89
With site level and drain on the bottom.

OK will do, wasn't sure if we were allowed to without being accused of "selling/spaming" so we hang back and help with any tech questions or install help, etc..
