I was looking in your shed, and you commented about a new/different washer pump? Have a look here: http://gallery.oldho...
A good little tip.....
By the way, nice HR....!
My washer pump is very similar to that except the outlet faces down. I bought it from Sparecity on ebay. Once connected to the washer bottle it is slightly offset to the panel hole but still fits.
I don't know whether or not you have looked at my profile but i'm 18 years old and this is my first car which i'm restoring.
To keep with the 'authentic' look, you can actually fit one of the small aftermarket washer pumps under the cover of the original washer pump if you remove all the original internals. Just take off the washer pump, remove the cover and go nuts with a hacksaw to remove the alloy posts, dividers, etc.
You can route the washer tube through the original plastic cover (drill out the original hose connectors) and then internally use a T-piece to join everything up. You will need around 30cm's of hose pipe to do this - use the flexible tube from Bunnings they use on watering systems. The original washer cover then screws on top hiding everything.
Thanks mate!
