Pump + tank. Trunk install pic request

Anyone got a pic of their trunk setup or point me in the right direction? I've done a search but come up with very little.

I've just got an HFS-5 setup but the tank that came with it is way too tall for the trunk of an FD. Thinking the coolingmist tank with built in pump mount might be a good option. I've also got a UK spec rear washer bottle but I'm not convinced it's the right shape to avoid starvation problems (it mounts across the rear of the car and is probably 6-8 times the size of the standard one).

Any other options out there?

thanks,

Steve

Here is my AEM kit I just installed. I spent quite a while thinking and trying to find a decent place to mount these, this spot worked out well. Notice my bracket I made for the tank, bracket attaches to one of those studs back there, and one more screw to secure the bracket to the trunk floor, and how I used 2 screws to mount the pump.

Thanks for that. The tank looks to be the same as the one I have with the HFS-5. Have you dropped the bottom of it into the spare wheell well there?

Yes, just far enough so there is enough clearence above it, and room for the hose that comes out the bottom.

Thanks Tom.

Howard, do you run your tank in the spare wheel well? One thread says you do but the pictures in the other thread show it in the trunk.

Looks like I'll be losing my spare at any rate.

Aha! Now it makes sense. The pics make it look as if it doesn't sit in the well at all. Very neat install. Thanks Howard.
