Default Overflow Tank Fitment

I need to replace my overflow tank, but my car has been converted to twin electric fans so it no longer has the OEM shroud which means the OEM overflow tank no longer bolts right in. It is currently being held up by zip ties, but I would prefer to go to an aluminum tank that is actually attached to the car. Does anyone have any experience or good ideas for this? I would prefer not to spend too much money either, if that is at all possible.

define...not spend much?? cheapest route = go to home depot get some straight flat stock and use a brake to fabricate a holder for the oem tank, I've done it more than once

Mount the tank in the trunk. Plenty of mounting points back there and running tubing under the car is a simple task. Just an option.
