Washer Bottle

[Guest allenr03]

Where the f, where does it fit? I have run out of room on the scuttle/firewall! Is it a problem if it's fitted before SVA since I won't be fitting the screen, wipers, jets etc. I guess it would be better to fit it after SVA, but its bugging me!!

This is where mine ended up. Cost less than a tenner off ebay couple of years ago.

Mine is on the engine side of the passenger footwell panel, quite low down. Compared to Enforcer’s photo, mine is to the left of the battery and down to the floor. Came off an MGF, fitted easily. If you get one from a scrappy, take a chisel to get the mounting plate off as well. Another idea is to use the soft bags with pump built in, like on an MGB. Cost a few bob though.

if you fit it where enforcer has , it's a sod to refill if you have a standard bonnet, i know that cos i had mine there, changed it for a bag type washer bottle£12.00 from my local auto factors

My first one had the Sierra bottle mounted over the top of the steering column... what a pig's ear that was!

 

I changed to a soft bag 10 quid on Ebay & stuck it where enforcer has it. I put a plate in front to stop scared passengers from kicking it...

 

New one has a small solid one, mounted in engine bay.

 

As said above would not recommend footwall with standard bonnet, only croc type.

The size of the water bottle supplied with the super spec is huge. I will not be fitting the one supplied. Thinking of an aluminium one or one of those bag type ones seen at the shows.

The SuperSpec does provide a challenge! Mines a bag type...in the boot (you need non return valves as it's higher than the jets)!

I used one that was supplied for a super spec fitted it vertical in the pasenger footwell like Enforcers ,with

11/4" solvent weld plumbing fittings to make a filler neck with a screw top cap . The pipe comes through the

bulkhead above the battery.

I threw away the bottle/motor unit supplied by RH and bought a smaller one from car builder solutions. this i mounted in the boot of the superspec. I drilled a hole in the carbon fibre boot trim and used a srew top bottle fitted throught the hole. the bottom of the bottle i bonded on the washer bottle. Bingo easy to fill from the top of the boot.

[Guest Giggling_Buffoon]

Similar story - bought one from car builder solutions but mounted in on the drivers side top chassis rail in the engine bay (just after the pedal box). fits adequately.

[Guest rhetorical-oracle]

I used the RH supplied washer bottle, attached to the passenger footwell on the engine side. It's under the battery tray, so I ran a pipe from the battery tray down to the bottle to allow for filling it. Works perfectly.
