I'm choosing not to drill into the clam but instead use one of the holes from the washer fluid reservoir mount. I have come across one problem. I'm able to clear the coolant hose below but the fuel line is kind of in the way. The way I have the setup now, one can is pushing against the fuel line but not kinking it. Will this be okay?

On a side note, while removing the reservoir I found a bunch of stinky residue in it. This is despite it being filled with washer fluid and not just water. The stuff almost looked like algae but I didn't bother to investigate further.

Follow the fuel line to the left. There is a spongy piece of hose already protecting that area.

If it were me I'd use some of that or else regular hose in the area that touches the can/cans.

Perhaps I'll do that. I was also thinking about doing that for the coolant line below. I think it sits between the two drains.

I'm actually not that concerned about rubbing. I'm more concerned by the additional bends I've caused in the fuel lines but I doubt they'll affect fuel delivery.

also, i don't think the catch cans produce any significant amount of heat.

what happened to the washer fluid ?:shrug:

I only used the one bracket on my cans that connect to the coolant reservoir mount....I didn't even use the clam mount side. You might just do that as well.

It got removed along with the washer fluid reservoir.

I bought my setup used from a board member. It did not come with Exige specific brackets. The one you see in the picture is a bent and drilled license plate bracket from a Vespa Rally 180.

So what are the downsides to removing the coolant reservoir and how do you check your water level? Sounds like a decent weight reduction method if it's not problematic.

uhh...he is talking about the washer reservoir not the coolant reservoir.
