I plan on using the Moroso coolant tank with my Coyote.

I have seen a couple of pictures showing how others have bent some tabs to mount it to the upper radiator support tube.

I can't find any that show how it gets supported from the bottom.

Anyone got a pic or simple description?

Thanks
Greg

I followed EdwardB's lead and made a little tab that mounts to the radiator shroud and provides support from the bottom.
Mine are not nearly as pretty as his: http://thefactoryfiveforum.com/showthread.php?18591-EdwardBs-Mk4-8674-20th-Anniversary-Build&p=220495&highlight=moroso#post220495

Watch the distance between the tank and the PS to allow the hood hinge to fit. I just had to move my Moroso tank over toward the cold air unit to give me space for the hinge. It is a tight fit, but it does work.

My middle lower support piece is the same aluminum bar stock as the two short end pieces. Its just bent to follow the contoure of the tank. Bolts to the lower tank tab & the radiator support bar.

bottom support??

Tank has 3 mounting tabs. Two at the top corners & one at the bottom center.

my point was i have not used the bottom support. Third summer and no issues using just the top 2.
