Now that I've turned my attention to the engine bay of the car, I couldn't help but notice my washer bottle looks totaly out of place. Does anyone know of anywhere that sells alloy washer bottles or has anyone had a one made from scratch. Even some sort of cover would be ideal. I've searched everywhere but can't find on at all.

Any help appreciated. Cheers.

Try and modify something like this to work?

Cheers, I was hoping it wouldn't come to that

That's alot of money for it, might just see about getting a cover made for it

Hi Mark,

I would just look for a small universal alloy tank with a single suitable size outlet.Link the tank to the pump with a small length of pipe then back into the rest of the washer system.You would only need to make a couple of brackets to mount it up so should be reasonably straight forward.

Cheers Ross.

I've been thinking about getting one of these drilling a hole in the bottom for a brass nipple and running a tube to the washer jets with an inline pump.

Ross, I'm watching a mk2 Mondeo header tank, might be able to get the right size outlets fitted and maybe cut down to size and rewelded if it's too big.

Tupers - Car Builder solutions sell an inline washer pump for £8, can't get robbed at that!

[M44K TS]

There's this one from Oz, not sure on the dimensions though, I'll have to ask and check it will fit. I think it works out about £70 with the postage.

I have a alloy drink bottle as the diff breather bottle for my Race Cobra - nice anodized blue. People ask if it is Nitros all the time!

I used one of those Sigg alloy water bottles on my Mini Van. You can just about see it on the right of this photo, mounted on the inner wing.... I drilled a hole near the top and mounted a tube that goes all the way to the bottom, then fitted a small external pump.

you could get a stainless steel flask and adapt that

stick it in the boot like the laster minis have, then you dont even need to see it
