Hi Guye
The washer bottle sits in a bracket which just fixes onto the chassis with 3/16 unc button head hex screws.
The bottle attaches to the bracket with 2 hose clamps all Stainless Steel.
I will post a photo of the bracket.
The wiring harness is supplied with the comprehensive kit but you need the ECU to be wired and all the other stuff that needs to be done by someone more competent than myself.
I am a great believer that experts should do things in the field that they are experts.
I have seen work done by Peter Handcock and it is truly beautiful.
Cheers
Brad

Brad, you've included an extra letter D into Pete's surname. I know that auto electricians require a deft touch and delicate skills with their hands, but you've taken it to another level!

Thanks Brad but my question was how will you FILL the bottle once installed. It seems to be almost flush under the front guard.

I have had my Cobra on the road for 11 years and have done about 35,000k in it. I took out the washer bottle when I got home from the Transport Inspection and have not put it back since...... Maybe you would need it if you were using it as a daily driver. |

Hi Wazza
Peter Hancock will be forever known to me as "Chunky"
I don't like using nicknames unless i know the people very well.
Young Brad I like that it can be my new nickname.
You don't miss anyone do you Warren haha.
Cheers
Brad

Engine Bay is Finished
Washer Bottle Fitted the bracket is bolted to the Chassis
All the Engine Water Plumbing is finished.All I need is a couple of Radiator Caps.
I have had to remove the inner guard to drill and tap the hole for the washer bottle no big deal only 5 small bolts.
It also gave Peter some more room to work on the exhaust.
Cheers
Brad

Hi Guye
I will use a small tube and a funnel to fill the washer bottle no problem.
It will probably only be used twice.
First time to see how it works and the second time for the QLD Transport inspection
Cheers
Brad

Washer bottle?
You need wiper blades too if you have one of them.

Ok ok I get it. Fair enough Brad and everyone else. The washer bottle isn't important :-)

More Progress
Exhaust ready for Ceramic Coating.
Seats ready for headrest (Photo of headrest when i get them back from the upholsterer ).
Drivers seat with seat adjuster bar and it works a treat.
Thats about all for the moment the car may be going to be wired next week so i will fill the engine gearbox and diff with fluids and also the washer bottle.
Cheers
Brad

Hi Laner
There are more headrests but i was handed a complete one and 1 to put the inserts in so it can be bolted to the frame on the top of the seat.
Craig would have ordered 20 or more I suppose its something that every car will have.
Warren the car may be beautiful but if its as nice as your car then I will be very pleased.
Cheers
Brad

Looking really good Brad!
So, with the headrests, it looks like they attach to the seat from the outside/backside, so that if you remove them presumably there won't be two open holes in the top of the seat?

That is right.
Its a lot easier to attach the headrests when the seat is out of the car or moved forward
Cheers
