Forum Members,

I need the control valve, that is mounted on the dashboard in the left side "Accessory" position, that controls the vacuum to the washer bottle pump. I would like you know:
(1) Is the valve a pull to operate or a push to operate.
(2) If any forum member has this valve, please post a picture of it.

Also, I need the nozzles that are mounted in the wiper towers. The 1941 nozzles are smaller than the postwar versions. Again, if a forum member has a prewar nozzle, please post a picture of it.

Thanks,
Grandpa

So that's what goes there. Mine doesn't have one. Based on all the other switches on the dash being a pull to operate, I would think it pretty save to assume that this would be pull as well.

Good luck.

Im about to set up for windschield washer on my 1941 Special.
Got NOS LH/RH wiper towers , I found that WTN 539 nozzles from Bobs auto is to small in the thread size.
I did have a double jet assy. from Trico , where the zozzles just fit right in the towers.
the outer end of the nozzles is more round shaped than the WTN 539.
The Trico jet assy. have part no. 803274/C

Hello Grandpa.

Look here at ebay.com/UK
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Trico-classic-car-...1QQcmdZViewItem

These nozzles will fit in the 1941 wiper towers.
