I was debating relocating my windshield washer reservoir. While talking to my dad, who also has a 91, we popped his hood to look at something else. I noticed that his cruise control (??) was where my windshield washer reservoir is, and his reservoir is in the bumper.

Are the washer fluid bottles the same? Are there already mounting points where I could simply relocate mine, or do I need a washer fluid reservoir that is specific to a 91 with cruise / abs?

you need the ABS one, or there is a unit that mounts in the area of the wiper control arms. Revlimiter has a write up on that one I think.

$150? Yikes!!! Since my car will not be going turbo, I'll probably look for an ABS one. . .

The FM one looks much nicer than even the ABS version. It's $ but worth it.

Just in case you were interested in the size comparison between the suzuki cap reservoir and the ABS reservoir.

I think the Suzuki is a better way to go. It a cleaner engine bay then, and then add the panel over the cowl. It looks clean.

Or try MX5 Dan's alloy ones, does them in LHD. Think it works out at $125 plus delivery at cost.
