Maybe it was the later EJ that went to twins?

For the FB, I've got a Trico glass bottle, vac pump, twin wiper bezel squirters and NASCO dash switch. The vac pump worked, but soon crapped out... the rubber diapgrams do not age gracefully, and are not serviceable. I gutted the vac pump, and installed a SuperCheap electric pump inside it (stealth upgrade). Hid the electrical wires in the vac lines. Worked awesome.
For the EK, I've got the single bonnet squirter, aftermarket alloy washer bottle, modified HK switch (EK knob) and SuperCheap pump. Dumbass me didn't realise that the alloy bottle had no vent. Washers worked well, but would dribble across the bonnet (engine bay heat cooked the alloy bottle, water expands and pushes out the squirter). Insulating the washer lines and putting in a check valve did nothing. Drilled a hole in the bottle lid, and problem went away.
Cheers,
Harv

This is what I have,
I'm sure it was bought as a Holden unit many moons ago.

Nice, looks period. I still like the FB ones though.

Looks like FB squirters in a fabricated housing ??
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Pretty certain thats a Trico - will take a pic of mine for comparison - if you want to trade for a pair of Trico Squirters I have a pair of NOS ones with perfect Chrome.

Re: Bonnet mounted windscreen washer squirter
They were in the original Trico install kit.
