catch can location

I am wanting to buy a pretty shiney catch can to replace my old overflow tank, but I do not know where it could go. I did a search, but the results where sub-optimal. So, where is everybody putting theres?

Are you asking about a coolant overflow tank, or oil vapor / PCV catch can?

I mounted my $7 parts store plastic one on the driver's fender, close to the horn.

Did'nt even have to drill a hole to mount it. Just took out the stock fender bolt, slid the mounting bracket in between the two walls, and put the bolt back in

Ran a good rubber hose (not the thin windsheild washer stuff) from nipple on rad, to in front of rad, zip tied it to the core support, then through a hole in the side of the core support, behind headlight, and over to jug. You only see about 4-6" of the hose. The part that goes from the rad to the core support
