Default 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.

One of these.

http://morrisminorspares.co.uk/shop/...9d1f44e4d1a150

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 does have a windscreen washer.
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
