I spot welded a couple of brackets onto a stainless steel water bottle and that is what I use for an overflow bottle. Bolted it right to the Taurus fan shroud. Drilled a hole in the plastic lid and ran the overflow tube to the bottom.

Massively cheaper than the expensive stuff sold for that purpose and works perfectly.
