What I was looking for and what I really wanted were two completely
different things. Fortunately Eric was able to read my mind and figure it
out for me. I wanted the bottle that mounts behind the front bumper instead
of the one by the firewall. I need the firewall space for the solenoids.

I was under the (apparently mistaken) assumption that all Canadian Miatae
used the front bottle as the primary because it was bigger and met the
Canadian standards.

A warm thanks to both of you for the help!

Brad

I emailed Brad directly as one of the local guys has a spare large
reservoir. Where does the NOS system usually get mounted ...near the fire
wall on the passenger side ? When I relocated the oil filter it was a pretty
tight fit because of the size of this reservoir.

93 White FMIII etc.

You are correct Rob. What I meant to say was what Brad wanted was the
ABS version in front of the car. The larger non ABS Canadian model
would take up more room where Brad wanted space. The ABS version holds
approx. 1.5 gallons and is completly out of the engine bay.
