John,

to hide the windscreen washer...under the guard, under the dash or dont have one at all.

if it's a Nasco however, you show it off.

Cheers

hey john, i have my washer bottle and motor mounted in the boot together with my battery, cleans up the engine bay a fair bit. i placed a second washer motor in line as a booster closer to the washer jets to assist in pressure. i used silicon air lines ( purchased from an aquarium supplier) and run these alongside the brake and fuel lines. the silicon wont go brittle or crack as quick as the standard lines.
hope this helps.

couldn't you swap the motor around to inside,make a bracket so motor and arms clear?although the mini set up sounds way easier

or maybe even look at a few of the street rod set-ups.
a lot of these systems can be quite tiny, check out a few of the U.S hot rod suppliers?
