5) fabricate a small, stainless, 45-degree angled bracket to mount the reservoir bracket to on the little nub behind the headlights
6) remount the reservoir to the nub+stainless bracket

With the above steps, there's a ton of room for the 3" ID hose to my cone filter in the fender.

The result:
Great idea for the power steering.. I may try something along these lines.. unfortunately when I made my first attempt at the intake, I had no spare car to use to buy parts and I had an obligation that night so I kinda forced the hose in just so I had a working car..

I will revisit this soon..
