I used one from a mid-1990's Ford Explorer - it's square, same size as the battery, and I installed it on the drivers side across from the battery - it does rad overflow and washer fluid, so I killed two tanks with one, and it looks nice under the hood.

What I used is a small coolant bottle you can get from Autozone for 7 bucks. I ran it in front of the radiator under the flat plastic cover.
