Repost after it is determined what is available- I may have something. Sad to say but I know I have a lot of the Super reservoirs, but they are different.

It's 'powered' by pressurised air using a special cap with a short hose connected to the spare tire's valve stem. It's made to stop taking air once the tire pressure goes below a cetain amount; so as to leave you with a usable spare tire (at the sacrifice of a usable washer). It then connects to the wiper switch valve (actuated by depressing the center of the black plastic knob insert), and then goes out to the nozzle. I'll look to see if Ihave any of these parts on hand......

It has no windshield-washer reservoir; I found none in my trusty West Coast Metric =2 0catalog, but found two options in the Mid-America Motorworks catalog. One is a "universal" kit -- nothihg like the original -- and the other mounts, it says, inside the fender, not where the original bottle was mounted behind the spare wheel. Is there not a look-alike replacement kit available on the market? Anybody know of one? My (correct) nozzles and tubing are in place, but no switch, pump or reservoir.
