Re: [T3] wiper fluid hose

["Nico teWinkel" <ntewinkel@yahoo.com> (by way of Greg Merritt)]

I just picked up about 10 feet of bulk clear hose from my local Canadian
Tire store. It's pretty much the same stuff you would use for an aquarium
bubbler. It was a bit tough to get onto the switch, so I found it easier to
take the switch out first (just unscrew the knob and the shiny metal thingy
and pull it to the back). I also applied a bit of heat to the end of my new
hose to make it more stretchable to get onto the switch - of course, this is
Canada and it's just above freezing, so the hose wasn't as flexible as it
should have been.
Oh, and the cost for the 10 feet was roughly 2 Canuck bucks, less than a
buck and half yankee bucks.
I think I had about 2 feet left over when I was done - I ran it from the
tank to the switch that's in the dash.
Pretty handy stuff actually - I used the same stuff for the gas tank vent
hoses... it's supposedly gas resistant too (hasn't discoloured or
disintegrated yet since last summer).
But it's not stock, thus right about now I'm receiving frowns from the
stockers ;)

Cheers,
-Nico
