Well I finally got my astro van washer bottle so tomorrow will be the install. Hmm If everything goes as planned, I just found the easy solution to 5th gen washer bottle relocation. Here are some pics:
Washer bottle as received

Washer bottle cleaned

The bottle will go here:


The holes in the rad support for the passenger side front engine mount that the DOHC doesnt use are almost the exact same distance apart as the two mounting holes on the bottle. I already have a piece of sheetmetal Im going to bend into a 90 to use as a bracket. I have the spots I need to drill out marked with sharpie ready to go for tomorrow. I will either remove the plastic filler panel or cut a neat hole in it so the bottle will fit. I also will need to extend the wire for the current washer bottle pump and run the plug over to where the washer bottle is going. Im pretty sure the current plug should plug into the new bottle's pump, but if not, I have the astro van plug I will just need to splice it onto the end of the wires. I also need to get some washer fluid hose to run from the new bottle to the firewall. Would advance auto or napa have the hose? Ill check tomorrow, Im sure ill find some somewhere. Ill keep you guys updated with pics of the install. Hmm, one step closer to my FWI.

 

Well Im finally done with the install. Here are some pics of the finished product:



Open space:


I gave myself some extra wire and hose so I can tuck it out of the way when I build the intake. For now they are just run on top of the battery. Oh yeah, I didnt lose any pressure to the wipers like I thought which is good.
Total cost:
Bottle/pump: $20
Hose: ~$5 (I needed 6ft)
Bolts: $0
Bracket: $0
Wires: $0
(I had that stuff already)

Moving the battery to the trunk?

 

I dont know. I may just turn it sideways and fab up something to hold it in place. It would be easier than running the cables.
