Is the s13 PS reservoir bracket removable?!

I need a bracket from an S13 power steering reservoir. I'm using the bracket to mount a couple things that aren't the OEM reservoir.

I have a buddy that said he took his bracket off to use on a different reservoir, & I had another buddy say that the bracket is not removable.

Now I have no idea, can anybody chime in here??

Hmmm I wonder if the design is any different for the single cam vs the dual came because one dude said his bracket was removable

--and then I've also heard there's no way to get it off (besides cutting it off)

maybe they are different?

Anything is removable with an angle grinder! You can always cut it off and re-weld. But no, the bracket isn't bolted on to the reservoir if that's what you're asking

You can use a spot weld drill bit and drill the spot weld(s).

One can acquire the bit from Harbour Freight for a few bucks. You'll have to drill a pilot hole first because the spot weld bit has a pilot.
