Just did the junkyard electric fan conversion but now i have no place to mount my coolant resevoir. i was wondering could i use the existing winshield wiper fluid container as a coolant box? just i dont ever use it and its out of the way seems like it would be fine. am i wrong on this?

If the tank pulls from the bottom, great. But is the ww. fluid pump in the tank on your year? If so, I'd go after market.

Good choice on the bottle, even if hidden would have been nice. I've been running a parts store overflow tank in an older car that never came with one. I got one with a cage around it and it looks stock enough to fool most everyone and works fine. They would not let me back on the track without a catch bottle, and on hot days it does not spit up anymore.
