On early windshield washer tanks -- the kind with the cap the presses on and loops over the fill port -- can someone post a picture showing how the hoses are attached? My car has patch-job rubber hoses just pushed on to the plastic fittings, but I'm about to replace that with the factory hose and want to know how if there was an oetiker clamp on the hose, nothing at all, or some other kind of clamp?

Anyone with an original 86 car to take a picture for me?

Just got hood painted and am putting in new windshield squirters, so figured I'd do it all up nice just like the factory....

as i recall it was a very small oetiker type.

If you don't get a photo by late today, I can take a pic of mine.

I'm not at home, but I think they are not worm type clamps, they are crimp type.

Thanks all. Grushy, appreciate the pictures (cool project) but I can't see the tank connections.

Here's the top of my tank. I'll be putting the factory-style tubing on instead of the black vacuum line. I'm trying to confirm what clamps, if any, the factory used there?

I know under the hood, where the hose attaches to the windshield wiper squirters, the factory used 10.5 oetiker clamps like Tedro posted. I have a bag of those, and want to know if the factory used them at the tank connections too (or something else, or nothing)?

Tom, I just went and inspected the hoses closely. There was a clamp originally as the imprint is still there on the right hand side hose. It appears there was a clamp at the pump and at the bottle. It looks like the clamp was like the one you posted above judging off the imprint left.

One clamp on mine. You can barely see it in the pic but it's on the upper hose conncection on the motor
