Mounting external reservoir
 
I tried searching, but most of the results had either the old pictures that wouldn't show (without any descriptions), or they were for the Moton coilovers, which have much longer line between the external reservoir and the actual shock body.

I have the Buddy Club RS Evo Damper (the full name), which has two front shocks with the reservoir sticking out. (The rears have them mounted on the shock body with a metal bracket)
***now, the 'hose' for the reservoir is pretty short, so I don't think it's possible to run it through to put it somewhere on the engine bay.

So far, the ideas were to mount it using a hose clamp, or some kind of metal clamp.

Does anybody have any pictures/guidance regarding this specific coilovers?

Thanks in advance!

I don't have a picture but I mounted mine to the top of the shock tower in the engine bay. Different coils but the lines were pretty short too!

Does anyone have the mounting instructions for your coils? They might have a specific spot.

Here are two methods we have used.

Impressive but costly:

Inexpensive but functional:

part "k" part no 7582K83, these will allow you to use a 1/4" or 6mm fastener and zip tie to secure the canister.

Something like this could work.

We've used the machined clamps on the S2000, however I could not find any photos. Here they are on another Honda:

How about these... $36.99 a piece. Attach the reservoir directly to the shock body.
