Hi guys,

Does anyone know which is the correct washer bottle and bracket for a 1978 mini 1000. Mine had a bodge job of a bottle cable tied to the inner wing when I got it. I believe it should go on the bulkhead? Though I have no bracket

Cheers
Elliott

might be cheaper else where that's just the first page I found! And yes it goes on the bulkhead next to the wiper motor

Cheers guys,

Next question, which size washer bottle, minispares lists 2 different sizes in that style. Also where would the pump be located? Non of the original system is left hence the daft questions

I think it's the bigger of the two number 10

I'd personally get the bigger one unless your concerned about 100% originality because the other ones so small a few squirts and it's gone
Saying that the bigger of the two isn't much better

Fair enough. I'm going for an original look, doesn't have to be 100% so the larger of the two will fit the bill nicely

Not sure anyone would know the difference but the larger one is definitely a bit more practical

The one you linked is the bigger of the two shown above and fits fine with the standard air box
