I know this is a futile quest since most of you think it is only civilized to convert the pneumatic windshield washer to an electric pump. But c'mon, that has to be the most ridiculously quirky quirk of a car dripping with quirkiness. Anything that stupid has to be worth keeping... right?
But I have a problem. The seal inside the fitting that screws onto the spare tire was shot and leaking all the air out of the tire. That wasn't going to work so I dug it out and and replaced it with a stack of neoprene washers that looked to be the right size and sealed to each other with a smear of RTV. It worked... almost. It seals tight unless you bend the hose to the side at all and then it leaks. Of course, mounting the tire in the frunk with the hose on bends it to the side. So what to do? Anyone have suggestions on how to seal this thing, or where a replacement might be found? New hoses with fittings are NLA and the ransom demanded by folks with used ones seems steep considering they might very well leak also. Thoughts? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
