How easy is fitting? Does it require bonnet removal and lots of messing with the pump?

Assuming it fits the Tamora, count me in too.

It would be easier with the hood off but not essential, the pump clips on off the old bottle and is on a multipin plug. All of about 20 mins work assuming you take the bonnet off.

No problem waiting Lee - make sure there is a little something in it for you too (or at least to buy the wife a pacifier hehe ).

How will they be mounted? the one in the pic doesn't have quite the same slide-on thingumy as the original.

Thanks.
To keep it simple I have done away with the slide-on thingumy (like that!) If you look at the pic showing the back of the bottle the rectangle shape fits in your existing upstand and the fixing on the back of the bottle you can see is an M6 thread. I will send you a stainless M6 caphead bolt and washers with the bottle. I have added a couple of pics below showing it fitted in my car.

Easy really. Mine is fitted at the front over the rad and I swapped it with the bonnet on. The old one comes out between the oil tank and AC drier and then out the engine bay side. The new one goes back in the same way just easier as its smaller. If your tank is under the bonnet it would be easier still.

The pump just clips out of the old bottle and the pulls out of the rubber seal in the bottle. You remove the rubber seal from your old bottle and put it into the new one. I will also send a rubber O ring that fits around the pump and sits in one of the recesses on it. This just holds it firmer in the aluminium recess. I used a little silicone grease on the end of the pump to help it slide into the rubber seal. Bolt in and job done. 15 - 20 mins.

Hope this helps. Cheers, Lee.

Lee, and all T350 owners,
I had the Sag plastic washer bottle upgrade to my T350, putting it in exactly the same place as your lovely new shiny aluminium one. The extra capacity was a god send. I think it would be a good idea to just make the Sag size replacement and all T350 owners have that one too. Means you only need to produce one model then?

Just my 2p worth..

I hardly use my screen wash, so unless your T car is a daily driver then the capacity is probably not needed smile

Hi Mike. Problem is not all T350 bottles are mounted where mine is. A number are mounted under the bonnet. The Tam shares the same bottle and is also mounted under the bonnet. I have reduced the volume as like most I hardly use it and its just dead weight.

When I do the Sag one I will ask what the owners prefer during the design stage, high volume and weight or low volume and a weight saving.

Cheers for you input though. Lee.
