Full Hydro Reservoir Mounting

[jasn123456]

Where are you guys mounting your reservoirs for your full hrdro steering? Im having trouble getting the reservoir high enough to have the outlet above the pump. I have a yj with the 4.0L so the pump is on the top of the serpentine loop. I would have to drill a hole in my hood and stick it through there. please post pics of where your mounting them. Any ideas?

Early bronco is probably just as bad... I used a -10an to -10an fitting to directly mount the reservoir on the pump and built a support bracket. It sticks out of the hood, but will never starve the pump. I tried mounting it lower to fit under the hood and it killed the pump.

I mounted mine on the radiator support, right where the factory one was at. It's a tight fit, but just clears the hood.

I made a bracket to hold the reservoir mount and adjusted it up as close as I could.

Trick I did for the suction line, was to use the factory suction hose(has a pre-formed 90* bend). After cutting it to the right length, it fit perfectly.

Edit: obviously the zip straps are temporary...
