    Is there such a thing ?

    My old 73 had the air pressurised washer system activated by pulling on the paddle on the left side of the steering column.

    Perhaps an prototype bay switch ?

  3. Yes it’s the pressurised system but with the plunger on the dash, similar to a beetle, although the beetle one fitted seems to short so I assume there’s a specific bay one

    Even in 73 it would have been a mechanical valve on the steering column under the windscreen wiper switch.
    I bet you will find a little white plastic thing with two spigots and a button on top hiding under the wiper switch, screwed onto it.


    Often replaced with a micro switch to drive an electric pump.
