Removable bonnet & window washers...

[Black_Potato]

So... you remove the bonnet, remove the hinges and replace with a couple of pins, I've got that much...

But what have you guys done about the washer jets ?

Anybody got any pics it would be appreciated


TIA

run pipes attatched to the wiper arms, thats what most rally cars do.

Either that or extend the washer tubes and put a removeable join in there that you can take out when you remove the bonnet.

Or relocate them to the vents below the screen.

strap em to the wipers as it means you get the added benefit of a really good wash... or rather your screen does !

Storm Wipers do a really nice bit of Kit, I think from a TVR like a fancy shower head that bolts under wiper arm, which squirts all the screen, I ran the hoses along strut brace looked OK worked really well.

Just finished

10mtrs of 7mm irrigation pipe from B&Q a heat gun a couple of old screws & some cable ties...

If anybody is interested...

1)Cut out old pipe keeping enough to reach the battery and refit the T piece.
2)Remove drivers side wiper arm and lever out panel below it
3)with a pair of needle nosed pliers remove a little mesh from this panel just to the left of the drivers side wiper and little on the far right, just enough to be able to feed the pipe through to each wiper.
4)behind the battery you will find a couple of plastic fixing screws the heads of which are about the size of a 2p, leaver them out as they leave ideal sized holes to feed the pipes through.
5)feed enough pipe through the bulkhead and then through the panel you have made the openings in to get within 2 inch's of the end of each wiper leaving a little slack so the wiper doesnt pull it when it moves, then refit the panel and wiper blade.
6)Next heat up the end of the 7mm irrigation pipe thats in the engine bay with a heat gun and push it onto the T piece, as it cools it will form a very tight seal, do this for both pipes.
7)take a screw thats head is just too wide to go into the other end of the pipe, I used some I had just removed from inside the sun roof, now again heat up the wiper end of the pipes and insert the screw into it point 1st, when it cools it will again form a tight fit sealing the end of the pipe.
8)cable tie the hoses to the wiper blades, leave a little slack in the ties
9) using a 1mm drill bit drill 6 holes in each pipe
10)rotate pipe slightly so that the holes angle towards the screen and tighten cable ties

test & admire your top bodge
