Default Windshield Washer Reservoir with TT?

Has anyone figured a way to add a small windshield washer reservoir with a TT kit? I don't need anything large, but it would be nice to have a few sprays when needed. I have been looking at universal kits online, but they all look too large for the engine bay. I am thinking a small cylinder could work, or maybe a remote location?

I used my tank for meth injection and didn't realize how much of a pain it would be. I just keep a thing of window wipes in the car now but im interested to see what you come up with up.

Take a look at Synolimit's Journal. I believe he relocated a reservoir just behind the rear strut cross member in the back. Looks pretty clean and you get rid of any bottle in the front.

Just searched around and finially found what I thought I saw. I F'd up though. I suppose you could do something like this for washer fluid though.

Been without one for years, best thing to do honestly is keep a bottle of window cleaner and towel in the car behind one seat. Use it when you need to, wash the towel and put back in car.

That's probably what I will do in the meantime, but I think it's worth trying to figure out something that I can use at speed.

Here is something cool that synolimit did:


I wonder if you hear it sloshing around, though?

I had one installed by GTM. It is small and carbon fiber (painted, not really CF) that does the job. It's not bad looking and gets the job done.
