Anco makes a universal Winshield washer bottle, approx $40. When i begin my transformation i will be making a braket to mount it on the passenger side of the engine compartment close to where the crusie control box is being that there will be plenty of room there. There are a few people that have just plain eliminated the WW bottle but i have the need still. I SHOULD begin installing mine with in the next month or so, and will post lots of pictures then.

took out my washer tank, no need for it, just keep your car clean, and if you drive where there are tons of bugs, get a universal like they said. I wash my car weekly, and there arent many bugs here. Its mosquito season, so I actually got like a million bugs on my sh** from a week of driving. I wouldnt of used the wiper fluid anyways.

the top mount as you can see it bolts to the cruise control, the back/bottom mount was a little hard do to the tight space but it wasnt to bad, it mounts to a stud on the fire wall. as you can see i have the power wire still exposed thru the engine bay. I'll loom it after i get all the rest of my under hood wires ran.

I relocated my washer tank to the floor in my garage, lol.

I kept my a/c, power steering, kept everything. I did NOT need to relocate my battery either. Hope this helps!
