yes I'd say about 3" maybe? you can run a small bracket w/a L type bracket off the front 2 strut tower bolts.

I don't let it get that full, but the actual canister is about 3" tall.

Did not ever think about the L bracket. Good idea. Thanks.

I think that's going to be my only real option right there.

Any details on the bracket used?

Hmm, did you just bend the bracket round the corner and use the power steering reservoir bolts?

The right design, is chambered, many of them are just open canisters inside.

This is the can i have, it has the right design that will work and catch oil vapours correctly.

I didn't have to bend anything, I did add some washers to take the place of the grommet that I removed in order to use the power-steering bolt. A little tricky to remove and not drop the washers.. but able to do it.

I like this location too since it isn't over the belts or anything. Able to angle it and not touch hoses. I did have a leak once and it just dripped a little on the engine bay wall and undertray.
