Finally Got to installing the dual can solution. Thank you @
neutron256 for the mounting idea. It was pretty bang on. I just took it and extended it for dual cans. Let's walk through the transformation
Before
I had a single can attached to a piece of steel that was bent like an L and wedged under the battery. Left room to add a second can. However being steel, it started rusting so I had to do something else.
Entire engine bay before

Closeup of the can. I have a one way check valve on the intake of the catch can. This was recommended by Vortech @

You can see the secondary breather hose here. one of my mates had tons of blow by gas go through here after a track day. Kinda stinks that the outlet is all the way at the front of the car.

I like taking pictures. Ended up losing track of time because I had so much fun taking pictures.

Prep
Danbo is helping me today. These are all the parts laid out. Some of the screws and extra hose are missing from this picture

The U-bolts @
neutron256 recommended. Not pictured are the nylon lock nuts that come with them. These will slip over the triangle chassis stiffener.

Piece of aluminium that the catch can bracket attaches to.

Cans installed. Note the dipstick is different. Radium changed the design slightly. No more flat mesh filters. The new can has a metal dish scrubber like material (the name eludes me right now)

Fittings installed. The can on the left is my old can I repurposed for the secondary breather. It has 1/2" fittings (-8AN). The can on the right is my new can. The input is a 3/8" fitting (-6AN) and the output is 1/2" (-8AN).
Due to the proximity to the battery I ended up swapping the 90 degree input barb from the secondary breather can to the output of the PCV can.
You'll see this later.

I actually like how clean this came out. Kind of looks like a pretty girls flowing hair.

You can see the final configuration of the barbs. The secondary can uses only straight barbs. The primary can (PCV) uses 90 degree barbs. The perfectionist in me says to get 90 degree barbs for the second can but at 26 quid each it gets pricey really quick. It works so I think i'll leave it for a while.

Backside of the can. I can reach in with both hands to unscrew the cans without undoing the bracket so it is still easy to maintain.
