Windshield washer bottle fasteners

What secured the bottle? Was it just sheet metal screws and nothing else?

These look like what you need. I'd have to check my car tonight to verify

Yes. (3) w/ flat washers. Silver cad or clear zinc. This is a photo of a reproduction. I'll have to check the size, #6 or #8.

I think they're #8 but nothing on the back side, huh? Be "screwed" if the hole is enlarged bigger

:lol: Yeah one of mine was wallered out. I considered but didn't think a #10 would work due to the limited inner diameter of the brass eyelet for the washer pump ground. I used a #8 speed nut on wheel side of the inner fender. It works until the next time I remove the screw and foret about the speed nut which will inevitably fall and bounce off the floor never to be seen again! :lol:
