Default washer reservoir relocation?

I'm just wondering if anybody has relocated their washer reservoir tank, maybe have pictures, and suggestions. I'm considering doing this since I want to upgrade my battery to a decent sized agm battery, the yellow top optima that i can get for my car only has 750cca i believe. but i would like to cram the biggest one possible in there if i'm going to spend $200 on a battery.

Any help would be awesome, i'm not %100 sure that i will relocate it, I might just settle for the 750cca

What about getting a smaller or different shaped bottle from a different vehicle, or maybe a 6 th gen bottle that sits deeper in the fender?

I've heard that washer bottles from early 90's Olds Cutlass' can work with 5th gen Monte's. Never really looked into it though.. My Monte hasn't had a washer reservoir in over 5 years, lol.

justin that would be awesome if you could post some.

leprechaun thanks for the link i knew i seen it somewhere on here

lougreen I have not ruled any of that out, i'm just hoping a fellow member will have some good suggestions of they're trials and errors

zipper i considered that, i haven't had fluid in mine for about 2weeks now. But i like having it to clean the random mud splashes and such off.

Pics of my relocation. I know my engine bay is dirtyyy...

I do believe I got this out of a lumina van. Only thing I did was make a simple bracket, extend the hose and wires, and paint it black
