Default Hiding my overflow tank.. Options?

Ive done a slight tuck and shave of my engine bay recently and ive come across an issue. Where are you guys putting your overflow tanks at? I can just hid it and slap a barcket on it becuase i have no way of attaching anything to it without it leaking from screw holes... Is there any aftermarket overflow tanks out there that look decent and dont cost an arm and a leg? If you have any ideas please let me know and post up some pics if you can. Thanks alot

I'm looking for a cleaner option then that. i dont want a huge flat black can hanging off my motor mount bracket. My bay is white so that would stick out like a sore thumb.

If you have any fabrication skills, I'm sure it woudlnt be hard to make a new one. All it is is a can with a cap, and a tube going through the cap.

Dont really have access to any fab'ing tools etc. I was thinking about getting a small pop bottle and mounting it up in front of the rad inside the bumper. paint it up etc.. last resort tho. ill look into some other options first. thanks so far guys

just ditch it , just fill up your rad every couple months, just run the overflow tube down to the bottom of the bumper. look at some old cars most old cars dont even have overflow bottles they just have tubes that go right to the ground

these are pretty cheap, and you can mount it wherever the hell you want
