Anyone who has purchased one of the replacement coolant bottles has probably had a hard time keeping in position, the new material is too soft. I made a support strap that attaches to the front factory strap and runs under the coolant bottle. Each end of the strap has a lip that goes over the front strap so the bottle can be removed without pulling the bottom hose.
