Buschur's catch cans-FORD IS MAKING CHANGES

[Buschur]

Crazy the small changes Ford has made in just the short time this truck has been out. We did get one of the first trucks produced, since then they've made weird changes.

Our truck came with a drilled/tapped hole for the intake to mount to, shortly after releasing the kits we found other trucks with the mounting hole and no threads, so we supply a self tapping screw.

Today we had a gentleman stop in to buy a catch can, we offered to install it free of charge since he stopped in. Glad we did, again, Ford has made a change. The hole that is also drilled and tapped on our truck doesn't even exist on his! There is however a "slot" that we could easily pass a bolt through and then install a nut. The slot is picture below in the picture.

All of our cans will include a nut with the mounting bolt now for those of you who end up with a slot and not a tapped hole.

Thank you,

David Buschur

That is too wild! I can’t image what is causing them to make changes as minor as that to an area of the truck they don’t even seem to use.

Mine has the threaded nut from the factory.

Several decades ago I read an article written by a journalist about a GM meeting he attended.
Inside the conference room he found a display of "every" nut, washer, bolt, piston, rod...etc! Literally every single part of a Ford Fairlane 500 with a tag stating how much Ford paid for it. .001 washer, .005 nut, 1.00 connecting rod... etc.
The meeting was about WHY/HOW COULD Ford build a FAIRLANE for $5.00 less than GM could build the Chevy Impala.

Looks like the "bean counters" are still on the job.

(.005 X # of Mavericks) + # of man hours X $ = $$$
