    Preview on New washer bottle from Auto Foreign.....

    I'm most of the way there, so I thought I'd post a couple of pics. Hopefully this won't jinx the project!

    We will have the cap and draw tube with strainer on it.

    There will be a "flanged" plastic grommet on the mounting holes (it will be "loose", just like original).

    Color will be very slightly "less white".

    Timing? don't know... hopefully soon

    Price? Not sure, but like most other parts I make it will be very fair by comparison to other Porsche products offered elsewhere.

    The current one in the marketplace that is a PCG (Porsche Classic Group) product is $95 to $115, but it's completely wrong, so probably someplace around this price.

    Though it can't be seen in these pics, the molding marks and striations in the plastic are the same on mine as the original, lending a bit more authentic "feel" to the bottle.

    Thanks!
    Eric

    OK, now I don't feel so guilty for cutting holes in an old one for oil breather lines. Great product!

    No clue. Usually when the boxes start arriving on my doorstep... I never get much progress info.

    Please note that I don't have a first proto yet on the snap lid and tube combo.. that's maybe 4 weeks out. And since that's the first one to see, there will be changes that will have to be made and then another proto sent etc. etc. till we get one that I can finally approve for production. This was the 3rd version I've seen on the bottle itself.

    tks,
    Eric
