Not sure of a specific P/N, but I just used a BMW power steering resevoir I got off ebay for $8 with free shipping..lol.

In fact this is the exact one I used - I just plugged the second (smaller)outlet and modified the bracket slighlty:

lol - I just found a short bolt that would thread in and smeared the threads with some hi-temp silicone and tightened it up. Or you could just leave the hose on and plug it with a bung or small bolt and hose-clamp it.
