Re: [T3] windhsield washer hose


Mr Stock here saying, give up on the Pneumatic system!  I got hosed down one
too many times and once the hose bursts the whole quart ends up in your car!
I grafted a microswitch in where the pneumatic switch was and installed an
electric pump in the trunk.  Looks and behaves like stock but has much
better reliability... and you can hang with the darkside crew!

PS the Pneumatic switches also leak... often, and even more often when its
really cold out.
