I am putting coilovers in my ranger and I would have more needed room for the upper mounts if the washer fluid reservoir was somewhere else. Problem is; it's attached to the coolant reservoir. I could easily cut them apart but worry the mounting won't hold the coolant reservoir by itself. Has anyone done this? Thoughts about the whole idea? I am not against the idea of having two separate "universal" containers for each but want to keep costs down. If I had to go that route does anyone have any suggestions on what containers to use?

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
I would just use separate containers. An hour at the junk yard and I would have suitable candidates for each.
