Meanwhile, I got out the windshield washer plumbing.

To install the squirters, the check valves have to come off.

Then the squirters get inserted, and wiggled about to seat the rubber flange.

From below. I had to wiggle this one a bit more. Note this also has the check valve re-installed.

I then ran the tubing, mostly following the wiring harness behind the air box. Hidden under the vent hose is the T-fitting that supplies the right side squirter.

Now for the reservoir cap. Of course, this was originally set up to feed air pressure from the spare tire. Now I need it to vent to the atmosphere, but not allow fluid to slosh out.

Nothing to lose, so I cut the valve in half.

That reveals the internal valve--that I don't need.

Here's the top. Both the barbed fitting and the open hole pass air.

For now, I am not sure, but I think I will plug the hole and route a bit of tubing from the barbed fitting to prevent any fluid coming out, especially under braking.

What about installing one of these in that vent tubing? https://www.amazon.com/1-4-Barbed-Check-Valve/dp/B01EMCPG2I
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com-20845-1619364933.1.jpg)

You could even use black rubber tubing and route it to look like stock if you are CW like me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

That's what I was thinking, but I wonder how much vacuum pressure in the tank will allow it to open? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Maybe tying a loop in the vent tubing would work better - less resistance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

i am getting ready to do the exact same thing. nice detailed pics. i had not thought about cutting the valve body open. i ordered a 911 bottle supply so i could use the top opening for both vent and supply, and just cap off the bottom supply feed . but now i am rethinking that as the top cap for a 911 bottle used a slightly different size and threading

Well, it probably had to happen, but I found a body issue that I forgot to address before getting the paint work done.

When I re-installed the right front fender, I made sure the seam between the fender and the cowl was open at the bottom so that water that gets under the seal can drain out. I meant to do the same thing on the left side but forgot. When I was thinking about installing the seal today, I remembered.

I inspected the bottom of the left seam and found some light rust. So that launched a recovery project.

Right now, any water would be trapped, and will add to the visible rust.

I removed the original seam sealer on the bottom side, and used some mini tools to scrape open the seam from the top.

Eventually I got most of the seam open. Here's light showing from below.
