Silly question-- Where do the washer squirters go?

My '69 was originally equipped with windshield washers. But I can not find the squirters. It's possible that a PO removed them and filled the holes (like a PO did to the trunk badge), but I kinda want to reinstall them.

I like everything to work, so this is gonna bug me if I don't fix it. A bit obsessive, but it's fun.
 
First look up underneeth and see where the holes were filled.

yes cowl - you should look down and see the holes for the wipers. there should be two smaller holes - maybe a foot apart from each other closer to the hood - does that make sense - should be obvious

Gotta install that setup next...does anybody have a photo of how the lines go in the engine compartment of an early car...from the firewall up to the washer bottle in the front of the driver corner of the engine comaprtment?

Yep, I forgot to take photos of mine!

Tony, here are two ugly pics but it shows the tubing running along the master-cylinder and running just to the left of the hood hanger to the front

Re: Silly question-- Where do the washer squirters

Thanks, Mark - do you have one showing where it comes out the firewall?
 
Re: Silly question-- Where do the washer squirters

Small, very small hole with a rubber gromet just above the wiper motor and to the side of where it goes through the fire wall.

Oh, man, is that good! Hopefully, there's no changes from the Bugeye to the MkI Midget!
 
Re: Silly question-- Where do the washer squirters

No changes Tony.
 
Re: Silly question-- Where do the washer squirters

Well, that's one of the best tools I've seen yet - answered many of my questions!!
 
Re: Silly question-- Where do the washer squirters

I think we have all used it over the years. No clue where it came from.
