Actually got some work time this weekend, ran the pump a bit, and it didn't sound like it was pressurizing. So I went for it, held it down for several seconds. Sure enough it started dripping from the headliner trim. Didn't take long to find a break inside the boot between the body and rear gate. 2021-02-15_08-08-43 by Numbchux, on Flickr Looked like it was pinched, but I'm not sure how. I pulled a coupler from a parts car, spliced it together, and I have a rear washer again!

Considering that poster hasn't logged on in over 12 years....there probably won't be any follow up.

They don't carry it at the local auto parts stores, I can verify that! I ended up double clamping that hose as insurance.

Or did you just break a CV

The old F150 did not like -18F and shredded it's serpentine belt when I started it, so subaru got pressed into hauling a little firewood. It was up to about -6F when doing the wood.

If I remember correctly it's 10 mm line. It's been years since I swapped my fuel pump so cant' remember it for 100% sure.

Nice. Sounds like you have winter projects. Spauldings might have some parts. I am working on a Brat - if you are interested in selling a set of seats let me know. I am in Billings, but get to GEG every few months. Have fun!

Grab any parts you can get your hands on. Others will tell you what’s particularly hard to find. Oil pump would be number one from what I read on here. If you can get one body and interior in good order you could drop a wrx drivetrain in it and power on from there Cheers Bennie

Throw it as far from the car as you can and replace it with a Weber. I spent a LONG time learning to rebuild the Hitachi's and make them run right. Was a complete waste of effort. For the $300 price of the Weber kit - you can't beat the reliability and performance. It's not even worth looking at a Hitachi. GD
