Just wondering if anyone has any pictures of how they have fitted their washer bottle. I have had my inner wings removed because of fitting a flip front?

This may not help you, but early cars like mine had the washer bottle on the bulkhead, not the wing. If you have room on the bulkhead, that's always a possibility.

Cut the old mounting bracket off the inner wing and welded it in place there...

My 1990 Racing Green has the bottle as Tom's under the bonnet.

My son's 1992 Sprite has it mounted in the boot to the back of the right hand wheel arch.
