SteveB21 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hi all I have just tried fitting an original washer pump assembly (the one with the Bakelite motor cover) to a new repro square washer bottle, only to find the new washer bottle neck, at 90mm diameter, is about 2mm too small for the pump assembly lid, making it too loose to stay on properly. Has anyone else come across this problem - do I now need to find an original square washer bottle or are there new washer bottles out there that are a better fit, with a circa. 92mm diameter neck?

Mark69 Posted February 3, 2019 Report Share Posted February 3, 2019 Hi Steve , I didn’t have your problem, picked up a bottle and bracket supposedly NOS from eBay a few years back. On inspection I would definitely say it’s a reproduction. saying that the oringal Bakerlite pump fits perfect. Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew Smith Posted February 4, 2019 Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) Hi Steve, No such problems with an original square bottle, maybe search out eBay and the usual TR used OE suppliers e.g. TR Bitz, TR Shop, TR Trader.

SteveB21 Posted February 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2019 Thanks Mark & Andrew I'm heading down the route of checking with the used OE suppliers as you suggest Andrew. Cheers Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SteveB21 Posted February 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hi Mark - not particularly - so long as it doesn’t leak! I think I may be sorted with an original bottle. Will let you know. Cheers Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
