![]() ![]() Saves me on shipping especially the heavy stuff. Twice a year my friend has a company container that is going to Europe any to his company and my collected parts go with it. So I collect all the parts that I need by the shops and ebay and have them shipped there. I've lived in the US a long time (Santa Cruz, Ca) so I still have my old address there which I can use, were a friend lives now. It is just the (patriotic) idea that those T-birds and other American cars were a 100% American made, all parts etc, nothing came from a 'foreign land´, just the idea of keeping it that way as much as I can. I can take the washing system from that for the time being and adapt it a bit. ![]() They will run you close to $300 US as I recall.Īn old (junk)car that I have standing around is an old nissan bluebird from ´86 from my son. On the other hand, if you cannot find the parts, there are electric windshield wiper/washers out there that can be put in place of the manual control which is located behind your glove box. That is where, as I recall, one of the spray nozzles screws into place. However, I thougt I saw a screw hole in that screened grill section in front of the windshield. I am going out to see Yellow Rose later today and will try to remember to take some pictures. I looked to see if I have a picture of my spray nozzles in place, but I do not. Contact Don at Bird Nest also, at 80 or email him at: He might have the parts you will need to put it back in original condition. You might email Eddie ~ who has a '60 Tbird he has been parting out. The bag is available and probably the spray nozzles also. It might be possible to get the washer mechanism off a donor car. They screwed in place and were set up to spray the water on the windshield. There were between the knobs for the windshield wipers. It had a hose running out of it, that fed the spray nozzles in that grill in your picture. There should be a red water bag hanging on the drivers side of the engine well fairly close to the hood latch. It was usually one of the first things to fail and many in the old days just took it off. As memory serves me, that system was mounted down by the generator and ran off the belt to it. As Jon said, the window washer system on the Tbird was certainly not one of its good features.
