RE: '74 GTV 2000 windshield washer bag location?



The windshield washer bag is normally kinda squashed behind the battery 
but since yours is in the trunk there'd be plenty of space. It hangs on 
two round "hooks" (for want of a better description) - think a kind of 
washers with shoulders. They attach with self-threaders into the inner 
wing AFAIK.

I express som doubt since the washer bag on my '75 Jr. hangs only on a 
couple of self-threaders, which is something I intend to rectify.

While we are in that general area of the engine bay - my Jr. doesn't have 
a coolant overflow bottle. I can see where it should be mounted - a large 
bracket between the clutch master and the battery - but my radiator just 
has a length of plastic tube which runs from the radiator cap to simply 
end at the bottom of the radiator. Is this a different kind of radiator 
which doesn't need the expansion bottle or is it a bodged job by the PO? 
Also - does the expansion bottle normally have some kind of sensor in it 
(coolant level or the such)? There's a stray wire (gray as far as i 
remember) in the area where the bottle should be but it doesn't match 
with anything.
