Quick question, Trying to find a spot to mount my power steering res and found it will work best where the overflow bottle is. Can I mount the overflow bottle down low or will that effect coolant getting back into the radiator?
I'll grab a pic in a moment to show where I want to mount it.

It works on suction so it doesn't really matter where it's mounted

Yer as far as i understand as long as its a sealed line and the end of it is submerged in water in the overflow bottle then its all good.
About the only real design issue to consider is that you can easily see the level in it.

What HID's are you using in the spotlights? How do they seal in the back of the light?

Awesome thanks for that did you find you needed it or just as a precaution.

Just a precaution. I'm still setting up for power steering so I figured why not.
I grabbed the big one in the event I can later use it to cool an auto and get a smaller one for the power steering.

Another option for a ps cooler is an 'engine oil cooler' off a corolla. Many have them. Clean them out and Bobs your Aunty
