Title: Is there a Late Model Windshield Washer Reservoir that will fit / work on a '57?
Post by: KYBlueOval on 2018-05-28 08:10
I'd like to have windshield washers on my Ranchero, and I do not want to use the factory reservoir bag. I'm wondering if anyone here on the Forum has found a late model washer reservoir that will fit somewhere under the hood , under a fender etc., and not be in the way?
Thanks
John

Yeah, I did. Late model Mustang..late 90's? early 00's? Not only the reservoir, but a small built in pump. Best part is only the filler neck is in the engine compartment, the reservoir I mounted on the wheel side of the passenger fender well. I'll find some pics in my build thread or take some new ones. On mine, it's part of the fully functional Mustang steering column, as the push button on the end of the wiper switch activates it.

I found one off a Ranger pickup that had the pump built in and had the radiator over flow as part of the unit.  It was small and mounted with two screws through the two tabs that were part of the unit.  Do not remember the year.  Used it on a different car that is now sold and since totaled:<(
