Relocating washer tank to rear
I picked up an SFR catch can, and want to relocate rather than delete the washer fluid. I was thinking of using the rear passenger side well. Anyone do this already and can recommend a washer reservoir that will fit the space?
And, yes I searched.

maybe a smaller tank up where the cruise control goes?

So after a brief visit to an automotive "recyclers" yard, my guess is that a rear tank from an A2 VW golf will work just fine. I'll take pics and post if anyone cares.

I care, I am still looking for a place in my engine bay to mount my catch can, I didn't install it due to lack of mounting options...

Catch can in the CC unit position
I've been thinking the same thing. Mr. Saikou makes a nice unit, but I wish it was shaped to fit in the Cruise Control unit space and bolt in to those mounting points. CC on a 944 T is counter intuitive anyway. C'mon Mr. Saikou, you can do it!

What I like about my Saikou is it is color matched to my car, and is a very slick little unit, what I dislike is the amount of "dead weight" in my engine bay limiting my mounting options (I even looked at mounting it in front of the radiator in the bumper, but didn't have enough hose on hand to reach the can from the engine).. Decided to leave it for another time (like when I finally give in and get a MAF), but I like the idea of relocating the washer tank to locate the catch can there, even though the lines running to it would be kinda long to get there...
