Does anyone have a windshield washer system installed on their Speedster replica, and what type?
I used to have a Capri back in 1976, and that car had the best windshield washer system ever! It consisted of a bellows type pump on the floor operated by the driver's left foot, and depending on how hard you pressed it you could squirt the washer fluid right where you needed it. It also had a ring around the bellows that operated the wipers at the same time, but the best thing about it was that, if it was just misting rain or you were coping with road spray, you could just tap the ring to get one sweep of the wipers - other than that they were just plain old two-speed wipers.
I was looking at a 356 parts place, and saw that Porsche had a similar bellows washer pump, and either a hard plastic bottle or a flexible bag to hold the supply of washer fluid. But in all of the pics I've seen in 356 books I've never seen the pump installed on the floor. However I seem to recall reading that the pump was installed on the accelerator pedal side so as not to interfere with the dimmer switch.
Anyone have this system installed?
