Small washer bottle ??
Im needing to get a small windscreen washer bottle for the Fes.
Needs to be as small as possible to get through Mot really and offer a few squirts if i get swarmed by those flying rats in the sky.
Has anyone any recommendations please of the smallest washer bottle they have come across?
It will be mounted inside the passanger footwell as the airfilter and pipework lives in the original location.

Dont think the grommit would seal as a bottle is not flat the curve will not make it seal..or have you tried this..

One of these.

Infact I might have a few in the shed.
Moggy Minor bottle. They're the same size as a bicycle drinks bottle but have a tube pushed in the top.
Another alternative would be one of them 'One Man Brake Bleed' kits.
Both would require an inline pump.

Being a bloke he always

Just a pain having to pull over and climb onto the bonnet to use it.

in that case, get a platypus (from your local mountaineering place), feed that into your washers and squeeze it to wash the screen. Then when you get a pro-alloy welded one you can use it as a drinking..... thingy for when your out on track
