    *Sigh*



    What's everyone's solution for this issue? Or is this a result of the engine I'm using/motor mounts? I was thinking I'll make a bracket that sits on top of both the reservoir and the engine, like a little bridge. That should keep it at about the same height(above the turbo) and allow it to bolt on without getting in the way.

    Or am I overthinking this?

    Mechie3 solution is very clean.
    I have a radiator hose the goes to the back of the car through the space where the tank was. So I mounted it on top the bar.

    Oh, and I overthink everything, my engineering nature.
