Whoa Ben, not going hi-press. on the wiper washer pump yet... just musing about a relay for the stock one.

But I do admit to envy every time I see a modern car washer spurt so vigorously :) 

R&D dept of Bell Industries has reported back to me, they have the titanium sheet stock, they are just discussing amongst themselves whether to shamelessly copy the "camp-a- toaster" (http://www.dyersonline.com/world-famous-stovetop-camp-a-toaster.html), or make one with stainless mesh support grid.

The R&D guys dither around so much it infuriates me.

I did find the P/N search yielded several alternatives which can actually pop into the cavity on the side of the large capacity washer tank. The only difference being the word of the day - connections.
