Sorted the coolant reservoir with a new mount at the bottom and some struts I made from left over 10mm tube (that I used to extend the shifter cables):
I use the original stainless reservoir of the 1300 engine, as it's much nicer en bigger than the plastic one of the Stilo. Bigger to better deal with the coolant expansion when it gets warm (I need to find a new cap though, or paint this one).
I had to flip the reservoir as the main connection at the bottom/front was interfering with the engine mount. Now it is at the bottom/rear.
It also had to be raised too, so that 3/4 full is about the max. level of the original reservoir.
The lid closes without touching anything (the EPPM intake tube was easy to nudge down with some heat).
