Washer Bottle Relocation

Recommended Posts

RHULPUG

I'm planning on relocating the washer bottle and battery on my 205. I'm aware there's nothing new in this idea, however, I'm after some pictures of where people have re-located theirs to.

 

On a bracket next between the batter and coolant bottle.

 

In the scuttle panel?

 

Or, as I saw in a recent ebay advert, in the boot, along with the washer jet motor.

I've seen a very neat job by someone on here, they bought a cheap bottle from ebay I think and mounted it on the bulkhead next to the coolant bottle. Just can't remember who!

Plenty of threads on this, just had a search and at least 3-4 results came up.

 

Can't find my old blue peter effort <_<

Have a look at Roms restoration thread, there should be an image on there of his effort mate. Looks very tidy to me!

Crap picture, but you get the idea...

This is off a mark 1 Micra, it just self tappers into the bulk head. I just extended the wiring and shortened the pipes.

Have a wander around a scrappers and you will find something suitable.

Same sort of idea as Nick has done, but with an escort mk4 washer bottle.

i have considered this for mine but then thought of how much of a pain in the arse it would be to fill it up.

 

battery tray might be an idea in my case as there is no battery in there. just need a suitable bottle .

Will under the scuttle panel only work on a non-sunroof where there isn't a vacuum system in place?

mines got a sunroof and washer bottle in the scuttle panel, but its an after market sunroof so might be different

 

snip a square hole in the grid on the scuttle panel to pop the lid of the washer bottle through for easy access :huh:

I suppose you don't have the headlight washers installed as original? I removed the headlight washers from the front bumber and used their bottle and pump for windshield washer. The bottle is located very neatly inside the front wing.
