I used a 911 pump. Works great, is readily available, looks suspiciously like the 914/6 electric pump and best of all, is from Porsche!

...And the 911 pump is no longer so readily available. And, at least in my wife's 911, likes to seize up, possibly getting gummed up with the stuff in the fluid??

The "gummed up" is likely from the failure to use w/s washer solvent in the appropriate concentration and to not using the system often enough. That "gum" is probably algal growth in the washer bottle.

914-6 Pump. Stock mounts. Stock location. Made a harness and used a 924 switch with a pull stalk to operate the pump:

Got a six tank from TC:
Wired and plumbed it all up... happy days.
