I need to get rid of the winshield washer bottle and do whatever needs to be done to shut the low fluid warning light off. I searched the forum and didn't find anything. Yet, I know I've seen something/somewhere...I'm getting old! If I missed it somewhere, could you please post thread...if not, any info and pics is very much appreciated!

THANKS

 

The bottle itself is pretty light. I just emptied mine and had my shop unscrew the light bulb.

 

So when people say its 25lbs...they must be talking about when its full of fluid....So they just went on the back of the gauge and took the bulb out completely?

 

They must. I didn't take it all the way off, but if felt like about 2 lbs. if that, empty. I'm glad I left it in, because for PCA racing I think I will wind up being about 5-10 lbs. light, so that will be my ballast.

I think so, it must have been easy because they didn't charge me for donig it.

 

removal is not too hard - you have to
1. remove front left wheel (jack the car of course)
2. remove wheel well lining
3. it is the large Black thing tucked into the top of the fender.

i'm sure you can jumper the fluid level switch to fool it into thinking it's always on.

or you can remove it and install the RS 1 liter bottle (Gert has them) and rerun the harness (about 1 horus worth of work) you do have to pop rivet the bracket on to the right shock tower.

I can weigh mine tonight since it is out of the car (replaced with the 1 liter RS bottle in my car) this will be the weight w/o the pump

 

Cupcar...that'd be cool to know what it weighs....Im guessing the pump is a little bit of a thing as well.

 

i'll weight it this weekend - the pump is tiny figure 4-5 oz at the most.

 

the under fender bottle weighs 2 lbs 13 oz - dry - no pump, no including the filler neck

 

Instructions and pics on my site under Technical -> Body and Interior.
