During the V8 conversion, the fluid tank and pump have been removed
and vaporized. I'd like to find parts for a reinstall.
I also noticed that as the fuse box is now on the passenger foot wall
there is no emergency flasher. Hum, need to address that this winter.

["....the fluid tank and pump have been removed and vaporized"].

That was for your own protection, and it had nothing to do with having a V8 in your Z. You have the only topless Z car in the Club. You can't use a windscreen washer. It would spray in your eyes and blind you. :lol:

Speak with Vinny about a replacement system. He had a few spares last I knew. Talk with him also about using a 510 4-way flasher switch instead of a 280Z switch. They are easier to hook up than the Z switches. The difference is they are push/pull instead of toggle up/down.

Frank you didn't know? After many years the plastic gets so old it Vaporizes. I've had some crumble in your hands. (I think he means lost it) anyways, I have some as well.

["Frank you didn't know?"] :lol: I've had four of them deteriorate and crumble on my car. One of them actually broke in two when I tried to lift it out of the car; the top half came off in my hand. The one I'm using now is from John Taddonio. It's strange; sometimes you can get a very good bottle, but the motor doesn't work. The ones with the strong motors usually have a leak in the bottle. :? It's hard to find a good combination without spending $200 at MSA.

I claimed one off a parts car at AirJockie's once. The crew jumped in and pulled it off for me, then immediately put their thumb thru the bottle :roll:. Then I claimed the rear speaker and they did exactly the same thing! :lol: It wasn't my day.

Jack is gonna look funny with blue windshield washer in his hair.
