Windscreen washer nozzles

Post by **Bazzalucas** » Fri Oct 23, 2009 12:02 pm

Could someone post a pic or two of the location of the washer nozzles on a car so equipped? I've got a '58 with none, and I'm keen to drill the holes just once!
Thanks!

I have one of those double squirt jobbies (1 hole) which is positioned centrally and 4 1/2 forward from the rear edge. Seems fine!

Choose your own position. A single jet each side of the screen midway between the bonnet hinge and the centre of the screen, or a double jet in the centre of the screen, can be mounted on the scuttle or on the bonnet.
If you are starting from scratch, mount the washer bottle on the engine bulkhead between the fuel pump and the wiper motor and use an electric washer pump. You can substitute the wiper switch for a light switch and swap the knobs over, and wire the washer pump in to the headlight terminal. Pos. 1 = wipers, Pos.2 = wipers & washers.

Thanks, Regaliaqueen for the PM. Unfortunately, I don't get the mag any more. I have two little chrome nozzles. I was just hoping that someone could take a quick snap of such a set up and paste it in a reply. Thanks.

A few pics:

1) Standard post 63 fitting:

2) Non standard on body:

Basically, put them wherever you like!
