Anybody know where I can get a bottle and pump for these units. I know they are about as effective as a micturating mosquito but that is what the owner wants. |

Bill, Were similar units fitted to other makes around this time or is it a unique R-R/B initiative? I remember vacuum operated windscreen wipers from the 1950/1960 era with little affection and a vacuum washer pump would be even worse!! If vacuum washers were fitted to US manufactured cars; reproduction units should be available from the USA for car restorers. |

I believe they are the same as fitted to Jaguars of the same age. I found one at the last All British Day in Brisbane |

Ashley and Carl Many thanks for that tip. I actually had Holden's among my favourites and did not think to look there. The age is showing I am afraid! BBC |
