Default Front mount issues!!

Hi all,
Fitted my front mount while engine was out, so no battery washer bottle etc. After putting engine in, and refitting fmc pipework, I have noticed a couple things.
My battery only just fits back, but my washer bottle doesnt

Has anyone used a smaller bottle?? Its an Autobhan cooler by the way

Have you got a UK washer bottle? JDM ones are smaller and do fit.

I don't have any problems with a JDM washer bottle and an autobahn intercooler



Maybe you need to tweak the pipework slightly?
