washer hose

[Peezee]

Hi
Would someone please help with a photo or description of the correct bulkhead exit point for the washer bottle hose. I have just noticed I have mine exiting in the wrong place. And only after I have installed the wiper rack and instruments!!! There are several points I have found on the net and XKE data but would like to know which is correct for a Series 1 4.2 RHD 1967 (plastic container with strap). Many thanks if someone can help.
regards Peter

LHD but it gives you the idea.

Thank you for your response Andrew. This is the diagram I was going off and stuffed it up.. From pics I have found the position for the container is the area marked "three screws" and have seen on RHD cars the hose leading into holes approximately marked "tacho cable grommet", "blank plug" to the left and "white plastic plug" to the right. I really don't like removing the wiper rack again (though I'm getting quicker) and would appreciate a photo or definite position. I just can't find anything.

I have seen pics with the hose into all three grommets shown and even a hole drilled behind.
Or doesn't it matter.

Hi Peter,

I have just finished a 1968 Series 1 OTS and this is how it looks. Can’t remember where exactly but I used several reference photos from other vehicles.

Just to add………I don’t think it is particularly important as long as the internal routing doesn’t foul the wiper assembly.

Wonderful Simon, thank you, that helps so much. It looks a great car. Any photos of the other side of the bulkhead would be a big help if you have any.
Thanks again
Peter

Hope these help Peter…..

Awesome photos thank you, they are a great help as so many photos are from the reverse angle of the engine. And the car is so good. Thanks again and very much appreciated.
