Rotary Aviation does them.

Piers (of R100 fame) was talking about reproducing them here in Blighty.
Back in the UK for the summer, maybe longer......

I saw Pete Taylor's old FC vert had one back years ago and thought it was a good idea back then. Just didn't know where to source one from. Might have to investigate further now...

@IAN connected level Check with the warning Light oilpan empty in my dashboard (remember i have the new style dashboard never built for RHD Rx7)
@Tool oil drain on bottom of the Reservoir upper Tube is only air inlet. I take the Tank from a KTM Motocross bike.
