Any place that makes hydraulic hoses should have the low pressure return line. Buying the steel wire reinforced 5000PSI rated stuff is overkill and you may injure your self on the wires sticking out on the ends.
Another way to do it right would include a PVC grade emissions hose from a professional Auto Parts store like NAPA or Car Quest. THEE Extra Sharp Pencil Bean Counters who buy for most of the discount Auto Parts stores will not stock it.
Also braided Tygon tubing from a Hardware Store or Home Depot or Lowe's. This option is cheap and will last up to five years before it gets stiff, shrinks and slides off the barbed fittings, so use clamps.

Thanks!

I used a 90 degree 3/4" hose barb to make the turn from the valve cover to the middle of the CCV body.
Image
CCV body is a 1-1/2" T with bushing adapters and 3/4" hose barbs. Drain is 1/2" at bottom, with a ball valve.

The intake hose has a flexible support to keep it from collapsing.

Did you put steel wool inside your ccv?

^^^ No, I used a stainless pot scrubber, it's coarser but packed densely.

FWIW i used a pot scrubber as a coarse base in the canister and a
brillo pad at the top to make sure it is all filtered

Warp

I'm keen on this contraption you made and have stalled buying the Provent because of the cost. I was also thinking of routing the oil
back to the oil sump but i'm not sure how difficult it is.

Any more pics of the seperator you made or can you describe what you used.
