i had bunch of those in my years of parts hunting, but this one is different, the knob is different, i wonder if its original? i know most came with a knob with W on it.

early version? or ??? these came off a standard.

those are dated like most of your better SWF products.

I have never seen that style of knob. I have found a couple different styles of washer pumps. most are pull-out units, but I also have one push-in unit. I have them with the normal style of W knob, and also with a standard beetle dash knob. not sure if the dash knob was original or just put on there at some later time before it came into my hands.

Anybody have pictures of these mounted on later model cars?

Any hints or tips on where I am likely to find the date stamps on my SWF washer bottle, lid, bracket and/or pump please?

Many thanks,

Dave

The one I have from 1957 is date-stamped on the pump assembly.

Thanks, I will have a look later. I assume by the pump assembly you mean one of the aluminium cans rather than the steel bracket?

Cheers,
