    1964-65 windshield washer bag coming soon from Auto Foreign.....

    At least that's what my wife called it...

    Not sure how soon, need to do small corrections. Yes, it does have the bicycle tube type strainer tube cover etc.

    I have several originals... there are differences between them in terms of draw tube (straw) length, and also in coloring on several items.

    Here's what I've found:

    Draw tube varies in length, bicycle tube "cover" insert assembly for draw tube appears to be same length as draw tube. I've got shorter and longer draw tubes.

    The insert bicycle tube cover assembly sits in the neck of the bottle opening. The bicycle tube attaches to a short "insert". This "insert" I've found in both black and ivory.

    The draw tube straw has a strainer that sits on the end of the straw... I've found blue, black, and clear for colors. My sample is clear as that's what was on the sample I sent out. I don't "think" that this matters, but note that the strainer is exactly the same as the one used on the 66/67 washer bottle (that I'm also in process of reproducing). Actually the washer bag and washer bottle (66/67) share the same cap, draw tube (straw) and type of strainer, the only difference is the length of the "straw".

    Input appreciated. I'm not sure how much I can do in terms of offering multiple colors of strainers as the costs for each "color" run of an item gets into a "tooling" charge, and I have to buy the "color run" as opposed to a per item cost, this can be very costly in this factory (eastern europe). So, it might just be "clear" for the strainer.

    It appears that there is a very dark tube/straw color on all of the washer bags, though it appears that they may have at one point in time "clear" based on where they join the cap.

    So, there ya go. Input appreciated, but not sure how many changes I can affect due to costing/tooling, and how many changes the factory will make before they say "forget it" we're not going to make this for you (that has happened before), you're too picky.

    Some pics, note that you can see the black version of the "neck insert" that holds the bicycle tube in one of these pics.

    I think I know what I can and will do, but input appreciated.
