Re: [T3] Windshield Washer Repair

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

That could have been the system - I've a feeling I could see the end of the
push-rod, or a gap where it would appear.  The spigots were on the back-plate,
which was rivetted on in an OE way, and pretty much undisturbed I would have
guessed.

I think I'll stop speculating on this - I really am not sure if it was dash or
column mounted, OE or home-made.  It has me intrigued enough to take a lok at
both types when I get a chance.  I know some people have modified one or other
or both to work an electric pump - you don't need the spigots at all if you do
that anyway, just a connector for the two tube ends. A non-return valve might be
handy, though I think the pump has that.
