Bracket to hold can: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Simpson-S...-A33/100374962
Cut one side in half. Grinded the end to fit into the space where the two little holes are on the back of the can(same little holes as the front of the can)
and drilled two holes to mount it to the can. Bent the piece to match angle of firewall and painted it black.

It's small but I only drive 3-4k miles a year. It looks like it will hold about 2 oz of oil.
They make the exact same thing and bigger, probably like 6 oz size, but I wanted it small.

Nipple to attach hose to can: http://www.lowes.com/pd/BrassCraft-1...tting/50359348
It is very tight just to push it on, so I didn't use any hose clamps

Used two short self taping screw and 2 M4x.70x6 pan phillips machine screws and 4 feet of hose.
I also epoxied the release valve at the bottom shut.
