Finally got my Ford Perf. catch can installed. Bought used. The seller unknowingly left the mounting stud on the car he sold. So I was left trying to find a replacement. After searching and obtaining an actual part#, I was going to get from Tasca but they wanted $20 to mail a $2 part. My local dealer was going to take weeks to get one. Then I had an epiphany. I remembered seeing these studs on the valve covers for holding the wiring harness. I found one stud that wasn't being used at the front of the passenger valve cover, swapped it with the valve cover bolt that gets removed to install the bracket and bingo, problem solved.
The stud that was here was swapped for the bolt shown to install the bracket.
Valve stud in it's new home being used to attach the bracket with a new locknut.
The install of the bracket calls for pulling a wire harness anchor from a stud by the valve head, removing a nut, installing the bracket, and using the nut to secure. The thickness of the bracket in place makes this stud too short to press the wire harness anchor back into place. So I used a wire tie to secure it.
Now complete!
Next is to trim the engine cover down and do some paint work on it.
