Re: 1940 120 wiper washers

Here is a bit from an early 42 service letter announcing a "new" item -- probably for the 20th series -- so it would indicate the washer was available on prewars. An owner could have bought it and had it installed in a 40.
Quote:
I believe the integrated washer outlets first started in 51 although it might have been with the 23rd series. On those pivots you could remove a plug and screw in a small nozzle if the washer option was purchased. There was a change in part numbers for the wiper pivots from 22 to 23 series and again for 24th. The 22-23 change could be due only to the different cable lengths because of the change in motor position but they might have also integrated the washer outlets at that time.
21st series and earlier did have separate nozzles which had to be installed in the cowl a few inches away from the pivots. 22nd series is a question but I think they were also separate. The washer is shown in the accessory book and it has separate nozzles.

but as I recall, the wiper transmissions had little threaded plug were I presume the nozzles went.
