Powered washer fluid assembly Options

[swood]

Ok, so I'm mocking up what I have for this assembly and referencing Andy's write up

I have a few questions and I'll post a few pics.

First, when I pulled out the filler tube, it basically crumbled on me. All I have at the moment are zip ties, but here's my modification. I suppose by the time I power it up, if it leaks I can get a better hose clamp. By bypassing the spare tire connection, I can run this tubing right to the pump itself.



Can I mount my pump in this area?



I have a new Bosch relay p/n # 0 332 019 150-010. It looks like it would go here. No clue on how to wire to it yet.

I just changed the wiper selector in my '74 2.0.

Since I was going in there I changed the turn signal selector as well.

I followed the direction in this thread and I too burned a few fuses when I installed the assembly.

My findings:

1. The new wiper selector mounting assembly (round white plastic) has been modified (perhaps for the 924?) and is a mil or two larger in diameter than the original equipment, as a result, it is a much tighter fit into a 914. My source has stated it _was_ for a 924 but was mechanically the same part with the exception of the extra wire.

2. Once it was installed, one of the copper blades is "proud" or "outside of" the plastic mounting piece and as a result grounds itself against the inside of the steering wheel shaft housing.

3. I tried to put tape over the blade but the fitting is so tight, the blade did what blades do and cut through the tape

4. I then thought about removing the blade and then decided to file it back below the edge of the mounting housing so it would NOT rub against the steering wheel shaft housing.

4. It took a few in/out exercises and as a result, the handle is now a bit loose and feels like it has been bent and then loosened internally......sigh.

5. I am buying ANOTHER one since the man-handling was my fault. Will install it and PRIOR I will do the following

A. file back the blade
B. use a micrometer and grind/sand the assemble so it is a better fit internally so the install and the removal is somewhat straightforward.
C. Take pictures and try and write an authoritative procedure using a 924 wiper controller.

Stay tuned!
