Any old plastic bottle and make the bracket fit the bottle?

I changed mine to electric and put it on the drivers side splash guard thinga (for some reason I can't remember what it's called, lol).

Electric = more drivable... and as previously stated, it depends if ya want original or not... but going by your angel eyes, I don't think you'll mind! :lol:

Hey Cam, Pops has the most original and retro washer bottle I have seen in a Mini!!!

I will snap a pic tomorrow, but basicly it is an original item, with branding printed on it. Some Victorian company.......it's a gem!

I have an original retaining bracket that is actually on my damn kitchen bench at the moment! :lol: I'll photograph that too for ya!

A jam jar is fine for roadworthy since some cars had it standard.
My uncles fairlane just has a plastic bag in there.

haha thats classic!! I dont have anything half as cool as that. Anton I wonder if perhaps that is a P&R specified bottle, u could just imagine them having a nice little money earner on the side to replace the bottles before delivery with a branded item! Ive never seen that bottle before, I wonder if anyone else has seen one.
