Power steering reservoir relocation

[Campose82]

Hey there i found this picture of a reservoir relocated next to the alternator and somehow a bracket to hold it. Been messing around with some ideas on how it was done but can come up with how to actually mount it. If this is anyone's set up please share info as far as how the bracket looks or how it's actually attached. Any ideas from anyone else? Thank you!

I have my reservoir mounted like that...
I upgraded to the 1m reservoir,
Long story short, I just used a metal piece with two holes in it(bought off eBay, literally a rectangular piece with two screw holes in it) to extend a little from that mounting area in your picture

Out of curiosity, why do you want to do this? What is the benefit?

I should also add that I have relocated inlets...

Yes...
It's dirty...
My car will be sitting for much of the winter getting a complete engine bay cleaning...
Or what I can get to!

That bracket is part of the VRSF relocated inlets kit.
It's just a piece of flat stock with a little twist to it. Nothing fancy. Piece of aluminum stock from home depot, drill a few holes, bolt it on.

Im trying to relocate because i am running an injen intake but want to run some ducting from the front lower portion of the bumper up to my intake. Problem being the power steering reservoir is currently there.

No worries, my engine bay is probably worse! During the winter hoping to clean it up really well. That's something along the lines what i was thinking, is that sturdy enough? Guessing it should be right?

Mine's mounted the same way, used 3/4" aluminum flat bar from Home Depot, it's 5 bucks for 3ft. Used stainless M6 bolts, lock nuts, and washers to mount the reservoir to the bracket.

Thank You! This is something along the lines of what i had in my mind haha. Guessing since its aluminum its easy to bend a little for that angle coming off the starter to the actual mounting bolts?
