I have 40 production units ready to ship so they are in stock.
I designed these out of a need for all the cars we build around here and never having a good solution for venting the fuel tanks and rearends, We were using little filters and just attching them to the underside of the car. In 2010 while racing at Kershaw my fuel line came loose on the engine and flames went under the car which caught the filter on fire and was burning back to the tank when the firetruck arrived just in time. That was when I knew we had to do something.
The units are cut from solid billet and each chamber is independent with its own vent port and bronze filter. They are made to be installed on the trunk floor or can be mounted under the car with a simple bracket. They accept a 1/4 NPT fitting and since the vent or exhaust port is at the top of the chamber these can allow fluid to accumulate in the chamber when pressure pushes the fuel out and it will gravity feed back to the tank or rear end once the pressure condition is gone like in a straight away. I have them listed for $219 each for now and will raise the price in a month or so to $239.
All hardware except the adapter of choice to connect to the unit is included and I also throw in a steel template to center punch where the holes need drilled for the lines, mounting hardware and vents.
People can message me on Facebook, PT.com, Lateral G or e-mail me at

I have other parts coming out soon like custom billet black anodized washers that are in sizes from 10/32 up to 3/8 and each size has a version for button head and socket head capscrews. I also have an oversized 3/8 version for where the fenders meet the firewall and cowl so it will all match. I have the parts already made and am working on kits so you can order a specific year and model kit with all the washers and hardware needed in one easy step.
Other items being cut as we speak are custom shifter rings and boots with matching steel rings that can be welded into the tunnel. These are oversized to accomodate for tunnels that have been cut and drilled to death over the years. Another part is a full aluminum plate that covers the entire lower right side of a 69 camaro dash and acts as an ashtray delete and stock vent delete so you can easily install aftermarket vents. It has a matching glove box door cover to finish off the look and has some cool machine work in it. Custom engraving will also be available if you have a name or want something milled into the dash plate.
One last thing I will tell you about since they are close to production is custom rear wings and front spoilers with funtional splitters for muscle cars. We have the prototype unit for a 67 Nova done and will move into second gen camaros followed by Mustangs and so on.
Sorry for rambling on and thanks for the interest and for posting up on PT.com.
Thanks again and let me know if you need any more info.
