Exclamation Relocating Brake Fluid Reservoir

I purchased an eBay strut set for my 01 civic ex, though I need to relocate the brake fluid reservoir due to the strut bars clearance issue. I have disconnected the Reservoir from firewall/ strut tower assembly, but I am unsure of a proper place to relocate the Reservoir. Any ideas?

thats not the brake fluid resovoir. its the clutch fluid resovoir. you can just bend the bracket back a little.

Not looking at the car now, but I believe the clutch resovoiris the one right behind the brake resovoir. But no matter the case the same technique applies.

Like he said. the clutch is the small one in the front, the brake is to rear left of that.

Clutch = small one
Brake = big one
You won't be able to move the brake reservoir, its pretty well attached to the master cylinder for a good reason.

Alright, the reservoir which i was looking at, the smaller one, also said brake on the cap, is in the way. I did remove it it from the firewall, but am unsure where or how to securely attach it lowered or away from its orginal spot due to the clearance issues.
