Got down to my unit again yesterday so started doing some of the little bits that will need to be done at one point anyway.
So after re-reading teal's shaved engine thread and seeing people asking about a window washer bottle and where he put his I thought I'd do a how to for a custom smaller one.
Do excuse some of the pic's for being upside down not sure how this has happened and can't bothered to change them right now.
Right so want to go from a normal washer bottle to something smaller.
I'm using a spare rad over spill bottle I have but other things can be used, you'll need to stripe the pump and hose from your washer bottle and have them to hand to mock up your new bottle.
First decide where your going to place it.
Drill a guide hole.
Now you'll need to enlarge the hole to fit the pump, don't go to crazy as you need a tight fit to stop leaks.
And test fit to make sure it fits.
I used a knife to clear out any sharp edges melted plastic from drilling.
then checked again with the rubber seal on the pump.
Then fitted the seal in place.
Then fitted the pump into the seal as so
Then secured the pump with cable ties just so it doesn't fall out when driving.
And test fitted it in place out the way but still will have access to refill when needed.
Total cost about 5p for the cable ties job done
