hey people. recently i have just neatened up all my engine bay, removed battery tray etc etc. i am just wanting to remove the standard power steering resovoir. i have tried serching for pictures as to what people have done, eg. put newer model ones on in replacement that are smaller/cleaner etc. and hiding them sumwhere in the bay. but no success. any pictures of what people have done or what works would be great

yeah im very interested in this to as im trying to do the same thing!

I used a 93 modle magna one i did a small mod cut the out let pipe because it was facing the wrong way and rewelded it in the right position.all mitso's(lancers,triton,magna ect.) use the same bottle they work well just keep it higher than the pump Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i used a vk bottles and just wedged it under the plenum and the thermostat housing.....totaly hidden

The pump is gravity fed by the reservior. If the reservior is lower than the pump - you may end up starving the pump of fluid = not good. I need a new place for mine. I don't have a bracket for it any more since the battery tray went out the window along with all the wiring.

use a VX one.. thats what im doing, theyre small, square, and they look very naiice

I used a vs v6 reservior and bracket i mounted it on the side of the drivers side radiator support ill take a photo in morning

u can get them made in polished alloy from www.lcw.com.au (http://www.lcw.com.au) these guys do awsome work and make fuse box covers and other parts for a vl to tidy up your engine bay and very reasonbly priced to
