Mounting windshield washer reservoir??

[DanEC]

I'm trying to finish up the under-dash work in preparation for installing the instrument panel and this included the windshield washer jets and tubing. I would really like to score a Trico original reservoir but haven't come across any Ebay. I wish someone would do a reproduction.

Anyway, I have a plastic bottle reservoir that ERA provided and I tried to see if it might mount in the general location of the original on the firewall. Between the starter relay, wiper motor and everything else - no way it's going in that area. The manual shows a bag reservoir mounted on the passenger side wheelwell but apparently ERA has gotten away from that and gone to this plastic bottle - not sure if the intent is to mount it in the same location as the bag one or not. I didn't find anything in the ERA supplements and private owner downloads.

I know Frank (428Street) has mounted a Trico reservoir on the passenger side firewall but I'm not sure what he did with the starter relay unless it's still in place behind the bottle. The Trico reservoirs must be pretty compact.

So, ERA owners - what have you done for a windshield washer system if you have one?
