Windshield Washer Reservoir

[Millardo]

Has anyone used this Washer Bottle Reservoir Kit from Cool Cruisers, on a '72 FJ40?
Does it fit in the space? It looks to big, and says '77 and older.

Here are a couple random photos of my on going project.

very sweet rig there Millardo!

 

[Millardo]

Thanks guys! Really appreciate it.

The washer bottle is mounted on driver side engine compartment, back side of the fender toward the firewall.

cruiser corp has a kit.

Brian,
Oh right, I see this one now. So the question changes...
Does anyone have experience with one fitting better than the other. Both are clearly different in design.

Just saw your photo! You had to modify the bracket correct? Looks great, Thank-you.

nope.
i bought the kit and an oem bracket from sor, as i didn't have one(and couldn't buy one in the classifieds here). bolted the bracket on, and slid the new bottle on. plugged the oem female plug into the male prongs on the pump. filled it up and enjoyed a squirt.

The one from cruiser corps looks alot like the oem from my 73.

Brian and Skully3, thank you very much! This is the one I will order.

I tried repairing my little OEM pump since it leaked badly. My repair ended up being too thick and bound up the little propellor inside the pump. So I ordered the one above that fits in the stock location and put the old tank and pump in the "original don't throw away" box... Thanks for posting that solution!

Brian & Millardo. Thanks for the info.
I still need a washer system and even have that Toyota bracket in a box somewhere.
Millardo, your rig looks great. I'm still trying to catch up.. been working on the doors & roof over the winter.

I did a lot of searching on the Internet. I found the original tank and pump for my 71 FJ40. I forget where I got it now, but found a guy with a junk yard. I'd also call Mike at cruiser Corps. He's has helped me out with several used OEM parts.

Take Care Mike

Hey Brian, I know it’s been 10 yrs. I just got my CCOT BOTTLE. Thing is, my OEM set up has just one nipple for the hose at the pump. This thing has one nipple also on the pump and one nipple at the bottom of the bottle. Any idea why? Should I just plug the one in the bottom of the bottle?

Those are two beautiful rigs. You both seem to have good eyes for detail.
