Default Front strut tower bars in Accords with ABS

My (yet to be installed) front strut bar is a Cusco for a '92 Accord EX, but I'm sure other folks have run into the same problem with other bars and cars. There's a clearance problem on the passenger side between the bar's "foot" and the ABS reservoir. Cusco lists the bar for my exact car, so it should fit. Alas the instructions are in Japanese with no specific diagrams. I think everything would be okay if the ABS reservoir could be shifted back a quarter inch or so. Has anyone had this problem and resolved it? Is it easy or safe to move the ABS reservoir?
Any help would be exceedingly appreciated.

I have a 92 EX with a 'generic' sturt tower bar. My ABS resevoir is nowhere near the bar. The only problems getting it on were the passenger side brace because of all the ECU wiring going past that area. I'd get a different bar if I were you.
BTW, im feelin your H22. Any 1/4 et's?

Nah, no 1/4 ETs, just a disappointing dyno run of 161.5 to the wheels (but I've a few reasons to be short 10 HP or so). It feels super strong though, and has been dusting low 15/high 14-second cars on the street.
