Default Aftermarket power steering reservoirs?

Looking for an aftermarket reservoir that will work with my 92 SC 400 1UZFE. Does anyone know where to get one? Preferably not too expensive.

I used a mishimoto one with my gte swap. Comes with the both hose fittings the same size... stock configuration is one bigger than the other. Not too hard to remedy though and they run about $50.

This one? What did you mean by stock being bigger and easy to remedy? I really just want a new part in there that works perfectly, and not have to mod much.

It's extremely dirty. I replaced the PS pump yesterday, and it looks like the rack and pinion and tie end rods will be replaced next weekend. I figured for $50-$100 I might as well replace this old piece of crap too. It is very dirty outside and inside. Has 225K on it.

I feel the same way about mine, planning on painting it flat black though and that should be better

I'd just pull one from the yard and clean it like crazy. Cheaper than $50 thats for sure.

carb clean the crap out of the inside/outside and reuse it.. no point spending money on gimmicky things. unless its in the way of a TT conversion, then yes you need to relocate or find a new one

Weapon R makes one for the Supra Turbo, it's made out of aluminum and polished. But it's also $90 :P

There is a filter in the stock reservoir correct?
