Coolant Tank Relocation

Greetings,

I'm looking for a way to relocate the coolant tank away from the front of the engine bay, or a way to possibly mount it to a full tray, perhaps on the side? The battery will be relocated to the trunk. It just seems like anyone who has the coolant tank relocated has some sort of custom aluminum tank fabricated, at least from what I've seen. I'm open to ideas.

There really isn't a problem moving it horizontally almost anywhere it will fit. Try and keep it vertically the same as it acts as an air separation tank

Hmm, was planning on mounting it further up on the firewall, using the trio canister set as a coolant bottle from Scott. But I placed that order 8 months ago and I'm still getting excuses as to why it won't ship, so I was looking for alternatives.
