This any help Chippy?


It sits behind the drivers side headlight. Is yours an original? There should be some holes there for it.


Cheers, Maddog.

Now there is a thought.  Mine is looking very shabby and I have one out of the gaurd of something and I was trying to think where to mount it.  Mind you I have miles to do first.  Though my first option will be like the rest of the car, try a good clean up first.  A lick of paint will go a long way.

Hey Chippy
Was just surfing ebay and found the collection of mini bits, noticed a washer bottle in the photos along with a washer motor.  Irecall you wanting both.  So if you haven't got them sorted yet. you may like to look at this link.

Try this link

http://www.moke.com.au/Forum/index.php?topic=919.msg6027#msg6027

or check the related topics at the bottom of this page.

I remember getting a aftermarket washer bottle to suit a landcruiser from SuperCheap for about $10.  Fit the original bracket, and was the same size as the original black washer bottle, but this one was clear.  I will see if I can find the packaging and the part number for you.

Last time I checked, Supercrap were clearing out the model that was a perfect fit for the moke. That was here in Geelong. I don't know if such an action would be across all stores, but I have a feeling it would be.

Can't remember the actual part number, but it was a generic washer bottle that fitted Ford and Toyota from memory. If you have no luck (too vague) let me know. I am sure I still have an empty box for one around somewhere, so I can get you the proper part number.

Regarding the part number for a generic replacement water bottle, here is the packaging of one I picked up






Got this at supercheap and just swapped old black bottle (which had no seal at motor insert) with new clear bottle.  All mountings, electric fittings etc straight swap.

Yes,
Thats the one I was refering to.  Supercrap were clearing them for around $10 each.  Normal price was around $28 (even thats cheap  :))
