....

Having visited Dubtek today and 'played' with the actual BSH Catchcan, I think there several places where it can be fitted. As well as where stokeballoon has installed on the near-side, it can also be fitted in the centre and on the off-side.

Here's a pic to show how it can be tucked well away from interfering with other components.

Wherever you decide to position it, it will have to be removed for emptying.

Robin,

I looked at that, but with the Air con pipework, the screen wash pipework and the headlight cover in close proximity, with mild vibration, you stand a very good chance of chafing damage to either or several components. 

If you are getting short of room adjacent to the battery, then reverse the bracket and drop the can lower.  It will be easily accessible for emptying and further maintenance.  With the right OEM clips it will be virtually OEM style too.

Is your car a MT as I believe there is less free room to play with if you have a DSG box.

It is, I appreciate the space must be limited, but there are so many differing ways to fit in and around the battery, I almost fitted it on the bulkhead.  There are some studs there. 

I just think that the area around the drivers headlight is very busy, and a pain to get the can sitting right, and prone to vibration induced chafing.
