washer bottle alternatives

When I trimmed the fenders I installed the washer bottle out of an 87XJ and it has worked out fine for me.
Unfortunately now that I have a canister filter it's interfering. Well it isn't interfering directly with the filter but it's causing the filter to interfere with the throttle cable bracket on the throttle body. What I'm looking for is a bottle that would fit in that area that would be slimmer: any suggestions what vehicle has one that would suit the bill?

Other alternative is to redo this bottle: does anyone have any experience with cutting this type of plastic and regluing (melting together?) the pieces? All I need to do is get rid of the corner.

Thanks
 
I snatched the "bag" out of the back end of a toyota 4-runner, and it works pretty well. it is made out of rubberized cloth and semi-clear plastic, holds about 1 qt., and comes with the motor already attached. i stuck it behind my air filter, just above the upper shock mount. i also put a short piece of fuel hose on the shock stud, just in case. the bag does not quite reach the shock stud, but...
 
I actually just cut my stock '99 bottle to fit.
I took out a 1" section all the way around it, using aluminum flat stock and self tappers to bolt it back together.
Then sealed everything with silicone.
It now fits right back in place without hanging down below the trimmed fender.
