washer reservoir installation

[bbbbuick]

My recently acquired 65 came with it's w/s washer reservoir, but it was broken and in the trunk. I see repros and even some originals available with brackets along with rubber tubing but can't find information on how and where they are installed. I assume near the battery, but if someone has advice and/or a pic of the proper setup I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

The original type did not have a bracket.  Three tabs in which self tapping screws go in. Just locate the 3 holes in the inner fender on the driver side at front area and attach it there. The hose which fits at the bottom runs along the channel on top of the inner fender along with the positive battery cable.

The washer fluid jug is unique to the 64-65 Skylark and GS.  If someone is trying to sell you one with a separate metal bracket, it is for the 66 and newer models that all used a common design with the other GM cars.

Thanks for the links, does anyone know if the reservoir takes the same bolts as the fender? The holes look like the same size.

There are three large coarse thread screws that have a 3/8" hex head. They screw in from the underside of the inner fender and into the plastic reservoir tank. See photo.

I ordered the one from Fusick, now to track down those 3/8 hex screws. Thanks for all the help.
