G'day 2ndowner,

Definitely appreciate any pictures of original setups :D .

I've got a heap of info on how the washers work, including photos of dissassembly, spare bits and repair sources, repro parts and a great writeup on how it all works (including the switch). PM your email address and I'll email it to you (will trade for photos :lol: ).

TM50,
I've seen the "round jar pump under lid" versions, and believe it or not they are available repro from here:
Holden Vintage and Classic Ltd
Linton trading estate, Bromyard, Herefordshire, HR7 4QT.
Telephone: 01885 488488
Facsimile: 01885 488889
Email: sales@holden.co.uk
Internet: http://www.holden.co.uk
or from here:
Rogers Motors
PO Box 603 Shutesbury, MA 01072 USA.
Telephone +14132591722
Internet: https://jollyrogersmotors.com
Both companies also do the "round jar pump over lid" versions.
If I had a personal reccomendation, I say spend your cash at Rogers Motors - Geoff and Andrea Rogers' service was excellent :D 8) , and they responded to emails even when Geoff was in a serious medical condition :shock: (Holden Vintage and Classic did not returned my emails :( ).
Both companies also do "round jar pump over lid" versions, but unfortunately no "square jar pump over lid" versions which are common on FB/EKs. I checked with Rogers Motors, and they cannot supply individual parts (eg just the vacuum assembly no jar).
I'm not sure that the round jar versions were offered by NASCO for Holdens though... if someone would photocopy some Accelerators for me, I might be able to find out :? .

Cheers,
Harv (apprentice windscreen washer guru and professional "please help me with info" whinger.).
