Which poses the question of 'are Sierra and Jimny bottles the same. I've seen those listings and I know it says Jimny but anything from Asia that says Jimny could actually be Sierra.

If somebody confirms they are the same I'll just buy an eBay one.

True, no point asking seller as they will tell you there the same regardless

Had another look at the ebay bottle, mount slot seems the same so I've ordered one. I'll share the outcome here when it arrives

Heat from the header, melted my A/C hoses too  I hate unnecessary expense. I'll be heat wrapping the new bottle and the hoses.

Why not heat wrap or ceramic coat the header to get the heat out of the engine bay? Maybe even a heat shield?
Heat wrapping the bottle will stop you from easily checking the coolant level at a glance.

Overflow bottle from ebay just arrived. Has a smaller capacity and sits 1.5 inches lower but does fit the Jimny bracket. Quality is not as good and walls are quite thick but maybe that's a good thing. One benefit is that it won't rub on the power steer hose.
