Windshield Washer question, anyone replace with aftermarket? Options

[stephenaki]

OK, my understanding is that the washer system uses air from the tires to shoot the water solution onto the windshield. AA sells an electric replacement for $200 some odd.

Has anyone used a straight aftermarket system vice the AA system? Does anyone see an issue with say pulling a system off of another car and wiring it in to a 914?

Looking for options. I am sure the AA system is top notch but i'm a a cheap Chinaman and just need it to function for the next couple of years until I can get it back to the states and REALLY work on it.

Nice switch, I did some research with JC Whitney and other sources and found some aftermarket systems that would work. I don't think I will get one right away as I plan on talking to a local resource here in Stuttgart.

Found a guy named Dunkel that basically has 30+ years working on Porsches, all of them, and is also Porsche certified. He can get parts so I will hit him up today to check prices. Have to balance the Euro against the USD + shipping and then figure out how quickly I need the part.

Will do up a detailed article on the method and installation with plenty of pictures when I do it. I am a visual guy, I can read the stuff in a book but I catch on much faster if I am either doing it or see actual pictures.
