General Headlamp Jets - So how should I plumb them?

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Firstly I'd like to say a big thanks to Hugh Sammons who let me have the Headlamp Jets!

I got them last week and they're absoloutly amazing (so I think, but 'little things...')

Now then, here comes the fun.

1st I haven't got the offical resoviour and pump for the headlamp jets, and 2nd, even if I did, I would have room for it under the bonnet because its normally fitted when my Alarm, Horn and relays for the Horn and Spot lights are fitted (although I could move them, but we won't go there).

So what should I do as far as plumbing the jets in? I had two main ideas.

1) Put a 'T' piece in the pipe to the front screen washer, and plumb the jets into that. Would the pressure be good enough to supply both things? and the only other thing would be that I'd be topping up the current resoviour like no tomorrow.

2) Put an inline pump in the system, with a seperate push button switch, and supply the pump with water from the current resoviour. Advantage is that water is only pumped when wanted, and will be more powerful and jet like (in therory), but where would I get a pump for this job from?

Any other Idea's would be warmly welcomed.

Thanks, Jon.

I think I might have an 'official' bottle somewhere ... you really do need it I'm afraid. You will just have to remove all the other stuff... sorry.
I have a number of pumps to go with it.

Lol, though that might be. Whats the reason? Is it because of the amount of water they use?

Well the bumper has to come off to fit the jets, so I can move the aftermarket horns down to there, and the relays can be moved further forward, and alarm siren mounted somewhere else.

How much would you want for the bottle and pump?

Thanks, Jon.

They use a stupid amount of water ... ... In fact, the bottle that supplies the headlight washers is twice the size of the one that supplies both the wind and rear screens !
P.M. me please.
