I currently have the washer bottle that sits on the clutch side of the engine bay and I want to move it so I can install a small battery in its place.
Now my question is apart from the boot area where else can I put it. I was thinking of making up a bracket and attaching it to the rear seat inside the car ?
Washer Bottle Position ?

Would like to keep under the wings clutter free hence the reason for not running fresh air vent but a good idea for some one else to use and to be fair I would consider it on a different build

Well I've just paid for one so guess I'm going that route haha. There is the two fixing holes for the pedal box on the passenger side just below the crossmember could put it there or on the passenger inner wing ?

I put mine on the LH side of the passenger inner wing just in front of the roll cage hoop vertical and low enough that it is easy to re-fill.

That's what I was thinking of will be out of the way but still useable

Wherever you put it it needs to be easy to re-fill.

I suppose as long as you can get a piece of pipe with a funnel attached to it you should be ok.
The bag holds a lot more than the mk1 bottle

can I ask about this battery. what will it be doing and why does it have to be in the engine bay?
