It was one of these,
http://www.ebay.com/...#ht_2267wt_1054
I just stripped the cheesy paint off, scuffed it, then painted it with a couple of coats of hi-temp tremclad black. Then replaced the barbs with standard 3/8 brass fittings from home depot.
Then I fabricated my down tube and sealed the barbs off with some JB weld.
I also had to make my own mount to fit in such a tight space. It's mounted on the lower bolt of the heat shield.

There's only one hole to drain from on the side. The rest of the holes are for the fluid level sight. I ended up buying a bolt to replace the one that came with the can. I just picked it up from home depot.
