Washer bottle pipe reroute

Post

Looking to move the pipe for the washer bottle so it’s hidden. Has anyone done this. Was thinking through the chassis leg but looks a pain in the rear to do. Any ideas or pictures would be great

Buy white silicone hose or Clear, Run it in the same area it won't be seen and then Through the Grommet in the firewall and up next to the hinge through the bonnet frame.

Or, you could run it inside the inner fender and out in the rain tray.  The inner fender will cover it and you still can run it through the bonnet frame.  I used a brass Barb fitting to keep it from being crushed by the bonnet to the raintray seal.

They all start with GOOD Grounds.

Original you can see the re-route of the line via the Yellow Silicon hose. The doubled was one was from the Vacuum Balls that I had prior to me finding a better way.

Here is the re-routed less obvious.

The Big Check Valve allowed me to rid myself of the Vacuum Res for the a/c.  It came off a 94 Dodge Caravan.



Sorry for the dirty state of my engine bay. I got tired of snagging that hose, and the vacuum hose when I had to work on stuff in the bay, it is a cleaner look
