Mounting windshield washer reservoir??

[KevinW]

Larry - thats done it. I'm now obliged to spend hours and hours squandering time in wasted searches on Lotus internet sites for this stuff - I hope you;re happy.

Mick - the lid on mine is not quite the same as the one shown, although by the proportions, its the same bottle. Mine doesnt have the motor, but instead has a weird 'sink plunger' thing, which is pretty big attached to the lid - I dont know how its meant to work. I was just going to remove it, and use the trico dash mounted plunger to do all the work. any ideas?

If anyone wants measurements for the 'compromise trico bottle' let me know.

On my car its doubtful even if i had an original washer bottle whether i could put it on top of the footwell as per original street cars - my footwells are a little taller than the originals. The one shown is def too tall for 'top of the footwell' mounting. If/when i put the puke tank on the firewall I may move it to the inside of inner wing. I have also toyed with slicing out a section and plastic welding the base back on to make it a little smaller, but im scared of messing up a perfectly good-looking NOS item.
