Previous owner had installed these:
They worked but still...I just didn't like them. The innards of the coolant bottle being filthy probably didn't help. While hunting for replacements, I came across this:
It was a bit of a no brainer, either 200 bucks locally for a reproduction part that only had a washer bottle, or this one for about 50 bucks less (I was able to get it for really cheap, it'd be roughly the same price otherwise) AND it came with a coolant overflow bottle.
It's a washer bottle and hose assembly for a 77-80 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser. Takes a standard ANCO 67-14 washer pump, which is about 20 bucks.
The hose and coolant bottle cap are a separate part number.
Bottle: 85330-60011 - ~100 bucks from Amayama, shipped to the US, from the UAE
Cap assembly: 16405-60031 - ~40 bucks from Amayama.
Amayama sell OE parts for various Japanese car brands, often cheaper than the dealer, but there's always a catch. In this case, the catch is that the shipping times are VERY long (at least a month or three). I'm guessing that's probably how they're able to keep prices low(er).
The mounting tabs where the bolts will hold it down fit flush with the radiator support, although it can flex a small amount (I'd say up to 5mm variation in depth on the mounting surface) to accommodate variations.
Installing the entire unit to the radiator support required drilling out three 8 mm holes to fit three M8 bolts of 16mm length. I have the 22 inch radiator and it fit very snugly between the radiator, and the horns, as seen below.
I probably could've installed it a bit higher, but there was an existing hole beside the radiator from the old coolant bottle bracket that I enlarged, so I went with that. The hose was juust long enough, seemingly reaching its minimum bend radius from the radiator cap's barb. The hose itself was quite tight over the barb and there wasn't enough room for the little spring clamp to go over the barb, so I relocated it to the little overflow outlet hose even though it's unneeded there.
I'm sure someone that ever decides to look into the engine bay will get a kick out of seeing Japanese text on the warning sticker, in an old Mopar haha
EDIT: also, I have a 22 inch radiator - don't know if it'll fit with a 26 inch. Highly unlikely, as there's about an inch of space at a maximum between either side of the bottles. May have to relocate the horns if placing it in the same spot as me.
