Vertical Rad Washer Reservoir i was in the process of installing a vertical radiator setup in my SS when i realized....i need to remove the washer reservoir.
so some things went through my head:
1. Should i just remove the reservoir all together?
2. Can i relocate it?
I decided that in my quest to turbo my car, i will not make any concessions or put up with any BS like i did on a previous build. So i made my own reservoir setup.
Its a $5 overflow tank with a factory washer pump installed in the side. I TIG welded an aluminum bracket that installs into factory holes.
The reservoir is easily filled with a funnel from behind the headlight.
Although I never use the washer setup there is a quart of fluid in case of an emergency
Please see attached.
This is a great idea for those that do not want to turn their cars into stripped down jalopies and still retain all of their accessories.
