Hello all,
My 1956 Series II has a Trico manual windscreen washer bottle system fitted. Does anyone know if one can obtain parts for this system still? The top outlet (90 degree) plastic elbow has snapped off mine. The bottle is square plastic, with a TRICO logo triangular filler cap on the top. I know I am asking a lot here as it isn't even a Morris part.
Hey ho . . . it's worth a try.

Give me 48 hrs and I might have one. I've got a new one of those jars (light grey plastic lid) and might have some extra bits. Fingers crossed.

I'd recommend going to B&Q and then moulding some grey putty or body filler to recreate the shape. I've got a complete unit here but it is in one piece and fairly
