Relocation of overflow bottle

This is for people with CAI on their BJ's. I was looking at it last night, and can see the hole where the CAI goes into the front left guard, and the overflow bottle for the radiator is in the road. When you relocate the bottle, do you make up your own bracket or something, or do they normally come with the kits? Or can you bolt it to something existing in the engine bay?
Thanks, Ripper
PS, if anyone has some photos it would be appreciated. And another thought I just had, I went to all that work on that big piece of shiny stainless for the engine bay, cut out the hole for the overflow bottle and everything, and now I'm looking at a CAI, I'll be relocating the overflow bottle!! Fore sight hey?!?!

the bottle seems to somehow mount in either direction, one tight and the other loose -


you may also want to trim the hose from the bottle as it will dangle around!

i turned mine like this, and convinently used a hole in the mounting bracket to hold up my intake with a strut that came with it. (Cos Gav told me to do it this way)

it might go into the fan ... and i'm sure that'd make a big mess if liquid through the engine bay
