Default over flow bottle and efans question

i have looked at a few different efan setups and saw a couple pics. my question is what are most of you guys doing with/ replacing your over flow bottles with if you eliminate your stock fan shroud since it mounts on the top of the shroud

I left my stock shroud in place, so my original bottles are still being used.

I've seen some setups at truck shows though where the shroud has been removed and some really nice billet aluminum bottles were used. Have no clue where they got them from, but I'm sure a Google search for where billet under the hood items are sold would have them...

I just left my shroud on and used a torch and metal pipe to make a hole for the wires some guys will tell you that you need to leave the shroud on to direct the air flow look at weeds pics I think he took the shroud off and made some sort of bracket for his overflow

I left the shroud in place and just zip tied the fan to the radiator.

I just used some self tappers and went thru the stock shroud into the plastic frame that surrounds the fan...

Does the Flex-A-Lite kit come with brackets for relocation? I think I recall reading that it does, but want to make sure incase I need to get something else, as well.
