[Supras] radiator overflow tank relocation

[tom]

Doh!  I am a dumbass who knows where his head is.  I meant starboard aft. The Optima is in the trunk behind the passenger side wheel well.

  Tom,

  The battery is already on the port side - forward. Are you saying that you moved it straight back (aft) to where the brake/clutch reservoirs are? Or did you mean to say that you moved it "starboard" aft, which would be in front of the passenger side firewall? I'd love to see a pic of where you made room for it.

Sean,
I moved my battery to the portside, aft, and had plenty of room to locate the 
puke tank inside the engine bay.  I bent the stock steel bracket to fit and had 
to drill only one hole to mount it.  I had to get another tube to drain the 
overflow below the body.

I spent saturday working on my new car some more and got the FMIC mounted up 
behind the bumper now.
now my issue is where to place the radiator overflow tank since it no longer 
fits. I dont know if theres a location i should aim for mounting it as my other 
options were to get a smaller one from Jegs or just hacking out some of the 
container to make it shorter.
