Anybody fitted a winch bumper and kept the headlight wash system?
« on: September 17, 2008, 19:25:39 »
As the title really.....

Anybody fitted a winch bumper and kept the headlight wash system? I've fitted a D44 winch bumper and want the washer but the LR ones don't fit. Anybody found any alternatives? Photos?

D44 sell a replacement reservoir.  IIRC somebody had one f/s on mud-club very recently.

I'm looking for alternatives to the nozzles. The D44 bumper is slim and the existing nozzles are too deep.

Not a lot of help really, but yes, though mines an ARB bumper, so the holes are already there.


I've also got the slimline Ally washer bottle coming from D4x4   :)

You could have a look round a scrapy. I'm sure there must be a windscreen washer nozzle that would lend itself to bumper mounting.

Is the bumper enclosed on the rearwards side or is it open like standard bumpers?

I could sort some out  if you send me your e-mail will send you a pic..
They will need fixings so as you can piont them at the lights then you can put the same water pipe on them.
Same as what the coppers use on there cars/vans

windscreen washers would not work as the bore of the hole is to small a large amount of water is designed to come out of headlight washers ;)
