Thanks for watching. I hope to get some done before the snow starts flying.Then it'll be put on hold again till spring. It has been a hectic summer so I didn't get anything done to it. hopefully It'll be done next spring.

No the Dr. Pepper is an aftermarket option. :thumbright:
I'm probably going to keep the washer reservior.I'm thinking about hooking up an electric pump to it instead of using air to operate it. I need to get that out of the parts bus also. Thanks for bringing it up.

The electric pump is the only way to go. Mount it under the res., remove the air hose and if you really want to go crazy, put a contact switch in the steering column so it activates as it should.
