> On my '74 bus the washer fluid reservoir itself was pressurized via a >> hose with a standard tire valve stem that you could add air to. >> Nothing was connected to the spare tire. My '61 Splitty had no washers--and the wipers didn't "park" but just stoped when you pushed in the switch. My '67 had a washer tank under the dash--on the tray--at the L end. It had a bellows fill-cap, so you just pumped your own washer fluid. It worked well. I don't remember if the wipers parked or not. My '76 had the tank to pressurize as Mark describes above. I'll stick to my Vanagon washers and wipers.... Richard A Jones Boulder, Colorado |
