Wiper Wash Switch

[pcarew]

FYI, for those considering changing to an electric washer activation:

Just found a momentary (normally off) switch with the right thread and size to replace the washer pump bellows that connects to the wiper switch. I can now press the wiper knob for water and the electric washer pump runs.

This has the added benefit of being in my local hardware store (Lowes)

Replaced washer pump with momentary electric switch

I fitted an electric pump many years ago and as I never used the choke, just pumped the throttle a couple of times, I fitted a long stalk momentary switch in its place as this was in a good place to reach with your hand still on the wheel. I?m going one stage further now I?m fitting a new dash and rewiring the car, I?ve bought an old type Mini wiper washer switch that goes on the steering column. It fits easily opposite the indicator / dip switch that is on the right of the column. I?ve also bought off eBay a second column surround to modify to include a hole for this additional stalk, if necessary I can refit the original wiper switch / manual pump and column surround thus returning it to original if required at a later date. I?m just making up a short harness to link the column wiper switch to the existing wires behind the dash.
The next bit will cause comments I?m sure, I?m fitting a usb socket in the original wiper switch hole as I want power to charge my phone and sat nav, it?s the same size as the switch so is completely reversible at a later date if I want to return to original.

The TR6 of around 1972 has a suitable switch. Possibly only the Canadian market... the part number is 635-772 or try 155496
This has 2+off twist positions. Push activates a microswitch .
The hex rod is pretty much the right size. I eased the flats and the brass button with a file as I didn't want to damage my knob.

I got this from James paddock (UK triumph spares). I returned the first as the rotation force was too much and then it jammed..this one feels excellent.
