As above, trying to source the original washer hose, has a texture to it. Bottle was relocated to the front years ago and hose has been cut down!
Also need a pair of door pin switches - common with anything else?
Thanks as always!

the door switches look a LOT like the 60's and 70's GM type... shouldn't be too tough to find
Found the switches 5 minutes after posting! Look the same as a classic Fiat 500, have a pair coming tomorrow to compare to.
I gave both my bottle and it's pump internals a thorough cleaning, then replaced the deteriorated elastic band holding it in place with a section of bungee strap.
The only texture that my old hose had was hardened and brown, but a few feet of hardware store 1/4 in. o.d. clear plastic tubing fits both the pump outlet and the oem plastic holders that route it along the underside of the body gasket.
Just out of sight under the gasket at the rear is a garden variety 1/4 in. barbed 90 degree plastic connector to the original/ugly/brown but now out of sight hose.
Your location/routing may vary.........Because mine is in a Pantera!
Panttera, is your hood/body rubber seal wrong mounted ?
always was thinking the rubber lip must be on the outside .

Chris, yeah, that grooved tubing was original...I went with a smooth hose that had a long hole in the middle good luck on finding that. The heater hose in the engine bay were also grooved, brake hoses were woven, and man is life short Good luck! Its fun to see such attention to detail...Lee
Good catch, Simon.
I do believe you are correct.

Lee, I did try and find the brake hoses, apparently they are Dunlop Herring bone pattern, sadly long gone!
...or NOS and decades old, it seems! Good rubber is new rubber...
