i dont have any oil in my engine bay... the catch can is just a pretty way of keeping oil out of your intake, and spending money on something thats not needed

well when i asked what to do with the pcv, i heard for a street car, a catch can was the way to go since most ppl with breathers complained about oil in the engine bay and it smelt bad when driving hard. so since i went ahead and got the can, what size bolt do i need to mount it up?
