radiator resovoir location

while figurin out out a way to put in a ram air system...

I would have to move my battery back, towards the rear, a few inches. i would have to move the radiator and windshield washer resovoirs back too but then i would have to move... on and on and on. so, i am just goin to get rid of my windshield washer resovoir for now.

where would be a good place to relocate my radiator resovoir? i can fit the windshiled washer resovoir (would be used as my radatior resovoir) under the original place of the battery tray. would that be a suitable place? would it be enough capacity? sorry for such a long post......... Gibson

Re: radiator resovoir location

If you put the windshield Reservoir under the battery tray, how do you fill it? You might as well throw it out as you can't refill it. Sorry but I don't have a better answer.

I installed a 4 inch intake on the passenger side of mine, you can try and find the picture I posted by looking for my glow plug battery picture. I turned the air breather towards the A/C / heater and piped the intake just behind the fuel filter, down and under the battery and the air intake ends up in front of the wheel after cutting a few pieces of metal that were in the way. I added a small grill to keep out the grasshoppers [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] PM me with your E mail &amp; I can send you the picture if you can't find it within the gallery as I don't think I posted it correctly at the time.
