1950 windshield washer mechanism ?

[bill gross]

Does any one have a description of how the windshield washer mechanism on a 1950 caddy is assembled/works?  Mine is in parts and i dont understand how to rerassemble it and make it work.  Thanks

There is no real "mechanism" in the windshield washer.

If you wonder about the windshield wiper, here is a schematics of cable routing (for passenger side - drivers side uses a similar pattern). Hope this helps.

Bill. Are you sure you have an oem 1950 bottle/pump ?

Here's what a 56 pump/lid looks like, similiar to Jacks photo.

PS ! McVeys sells rebuild kits from 50-up.

Bill, so you don't get confused-here are the pumplids/setups for various years.
