windshield washers

M mattstanley
Has anyone got photos of their window washer install. I have a Vintage Speedster that I have recently purchased and it has no windshield washers. I know that these may be unnecessary in California, but here in the United Kingdom it rains and athough i wouldn't normally take it out in the wet, you never can tell when the heavens are going to open. Also and probably more importantly, I need windshield washers to pass the (MOT) vehicle test. I'd like something as near original as possible, be that pressurised bottle,bag or electric any ideas, photos would be welcome

Here's what I used. It was the most inexpensive (read cheapest) one I could find and it works great! I had to add the windshield washer to keep my PA State inspection guy happy.
The nozzles that come with the kit are bit funky so
I used a VW bug double sprayer nozzle at the hoods centerline.

I mounted the bottle for the windshield washer in the front of the trunk, next to the battery.
I used a VW nozzle. I drilled a hole a little smaller in dia. than the nozzle. It snaps into the hole without any other fasteners.
I did use a little silicone to make sure it doesn't pop out or move.
