You can get resto bottles for not too much money, or just use a universal overflow/catch can.

In OEM form, the bottle on an aero fox is on the drivers side of the radiator shroud.

In this picture, you're sitting where the engine is, looking forward.



It is contoured around the driver's side of the fan shroud opening.

Note: The car pictured has an aftermarket electric fan installed.

If you go to a ford dealership and buy one it is self explanatory. Or buy a cool chrome or Red one and put it anywhere you want to.
