<VV> windshield washer pump substitute

[LonzoVair at aol.com]

My 61 Greenbrier never had windshield washers, so I went looking through the 
scrapyard for one of the old foot pump types out of a MoPaR... found the 
ticket in a 61 Dodge wrecker... took the cap off the washer bag (it uses the same 
type bag as the FCs, only the cap is different) and my trusty adjustable wrench 
went to work on the large nut that held the foot pump to the floor... I 
mounted it to the hole where the clutch pedal used to reside, since it is now an 
automatic...
It has worked great for 5 years... oh, the washer nozzels I found at a swap 
meet. They are the old Trico diamonds, large chrome diamond shape with two 
adjustable squirt holes on each side... I mounted two so I have 4 streams on the 
windshield, getting both a "fore and aft" stream on the windshield... it cleans 
nicely!
The 64 700 is a plane-Jane, single wipers, no washers... but I have 
everything to attach an electric set up... I might do that when I get the brace on and 
I can put some weight on this leg... 
I gotta tell ya, I've found a new respect for birds... sleeping on one 
foot... standing for hours.... amazing! My left calf is huge... my right is still in 
a cast, so I KNOW I'm gonna look funny with one "big" leg and one skinny one. 
June 20th is the next Dr visit... he said I'll be getting fitted for a 
brace... getting "fitted" and "getting" one I'm sure are two different things...
Later,
Lonzo
