'64 320 washer bag?


SS320

Recommended Posts

Does anyone have some info and/or pics about the original washer bag or bottle for the wipers?

Where does it fit, size, color etc?

All I seem to have is two jets and a tee piece connected by what looks like fish tank/aquarium hose!

Neither my 63 or 64 have ever had a hole in the hood for a windshield washer jet that I can see, I am unsure about 320s even having one at all, if they did, it likely would have a manual plunger to operate it.

You are in Australia though, maybe they had different rules about new vehicles over there, and required them back then.

The two jets are just in front of the hood (bonnet). They are sooo close to the windscreen they are nearly touching the rubber screen seal. It's too dark now to add pics.

They look as old as the rest of the rubber on the old girl but, I guess they could have been added later.

Now I'm wondering what year model they did appear in so I can compare notes.

Thanks heaps Ratsunites?!! I really appreciate the help. :thumbup:

I see the illustration is dated 1968.

A bit curious if that was the first year the option was available. The jets on my '64 do not look like the pictured original ones.

Now I know they were added later. Probably for some stupid Victorian Cop rule.

My 320 book does not show an illustration, only part numbers. And the part numbers aren't for individual pieces, they are for the kit. Three different part numbers for three applications: 320, L320 and L320-U...I think. It's hard to decipher these books.

 

I'll scan it in later.

 

I thought they had a bag, not a bottle.

I was under the impression the early models had a bag instead of the bottle.

Looks like I was mistaken on that one.

Now I don't know what to hook the washers up to!!!

I'm was leaning towards the bag.

Found a nice one made in Japan, new with fittings etc.

Has any one actually seen an original washer setup in any of the 320's?

The bag was a good idea. (seen in other cars)

You could tell at a glance how much water was left but, if I remember right, you couldn't add any soap or cleaning chemicals.

It was for water only.

Happy to add some pics, should be a couple of weeks away yet.

Was thinking about placing on inner guard near the radiator and battery, but Iv'e got another plan for in there!

So I will let you all know if it fits, works & looks ok. If interested..
