Where best to fit electric washer pump and switch for pump? Presumably switch where hand pump used to be.
Toggle switch or is there a push button switch available?

Pump needs to be as close to the water bottle as possible, the later models had them on the bottle itself.
my switch is on the stalk as are the wipers but a spring return rocker or toggle to match other switches or a push button if thats your bent.

I used a Lucas SPB106 push switch mounted in the choke bracket to the left of the steering column on my K and relocated the choke to the switch panel.

And the washer pump is mounted on one of instrument cowl screws next to the bottle. It can just about be seen behind the air filter box.

Or you could get inventive and mount a cheap miniature push button in the old pump housing for the original look. There are plenty of ideas from google.

Mine has a Toyota washer tank and pump mounted in the left front wheel well (with the Fiamm air horns).
Push button in the RH end of the switch panel.
