Hi all,

I ordered a repro Jiffy Jet washer bag, but it didn't come with the cap/tube etc. Any idea where I can get a cap? I can connect it to the electrical pump that I have, which I can hide somewhere....

Also, where does it mount? I've seen pics of them on the passenger side inner fender, but what does it actually hook or bolt to?

Here's a photo of how it mounts.

That's great, thanks! Would you be able to give me the dimensions of the brackets, and maybe a close up of the end of the rearmost one - I can see if I can make up a couple.

Was just wondering the outcome of this post. I'm in the same boat. I need to order a washer bag, and I'm also missing brackets and a a cap!. Anyone have any idea were to obtain this stuff?

A tip sent to me by "Still Out There" a few years ago.

Yep, Studebaker parts.

Go to:
http://www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?userwatch~dynamicSearchPage...

Enter a search for part description:
"windshield washer valve"

On the results page you will find:
the windshield washer valves
the windshield washer bag caps
the windshield washer bag filters

Just took one from a '60 Windsor.
It was mounted on the driver side fender liner about 1/4 of the way down.
You got the correct bag for an electric pump set up?
I think they suck out of the bottom of the bag as on the 63-64 Chryslers.
Don't the top draw bags work on vacum from a foot pump?

Wow....Studebaker parts in my Plymouth...LOL!

So, the question is, and I'm going off what I saw from a car in the scrapyard, it looks like the washer valve is mounted on the firewall of the car. So... I'd order the cap from Studebaker Guy for models without valve on cap? Does that sound right?

That washer valve... identical to the one I took out of a scrapped Plymouth!!

The one way valve is identical to early 60's Fords too...... Dennis Carpenter repops them !

There is also a foot operated switch / lever that initiates the wipers and washers. Also has a rubber diaphram that is similar / same as 60's Fords. These last two items are inside the cabin. Don't know if all cars had these or not......???

Have also seen that foremost washer bag bracket mounted on its side. It then puts tension on the bag and sits a bit differently. I mounted mine like that.

Had no reference so don't know what is correct !!! (57 Plym)

The Studebaker bracket looks quite different to the pics I've seen of the Plymouth ones. John is sending me a used pair, and a used cap, so I should be good to go using my existing aftermarket electric pump.

Here are some photos that will help you. From Wayne Graefen's lead, I ordered the cap and valve from the Studebaker website and was very happy with their delivery of accurately reproduced parts, as original.
The foot pumps come up regularly on Ebay too.
