The windscreen washer tank/bottle, can you still get them, what are they off?

Veneer on dash (350i style) by radio is shot, best place to renew? Plus door pulls & on door cards - dash & glovebox fine!


Car is 420se '86

Thanks in advance

Hi Mate..
The veneer is burr walnut and its best to clean it off the plate..Re-stick,and take to a CNC cutters for a perfect cut..Here are some examples of burr walnut veneers..
Not sure about washer bottle..These are something i might get made in stainless if i can find the pumps...Cheers..ziga

You can buy a windscreen washer bottle & pump cheaply of the 'bay.

I got mine done by Chapman and Clift but it was the whole lot in one go

I am sure they would do just 1 piece and if you get a decent photo will match the colouring etc

I wanted mine lighter than the previous and also to match the wooden steering wheel and they did a great job

Hi, just spoke to them, very helpful. They will do the one piece, plus the door pulls & trim in door cards.

Good stuff, thank you.

Now got to get it all out......or do I wait for winter? smile

If you don't know how to take out then you remove the radio
so that you can get to some nuts behing and pull it all off

If you need a better description then I am sure others on here can help

Cheers
