Curious, has anyone added windshield washers to a P15, factory or aftermarket? Where were the nozzles positioned? I seem to recall seeing a setup where the nozzle came up from the dash and out of the windshield dividing bar. Pictures would be helpful. Thanks.

Thanks Donald. That's exactly what I had in mind. I've seen these before but without the nozzle or the part running to it. I imagine something could be pieced together, maybe even with an electric pump. But I think the nozzle will be a problem.

Jiffy Jet Repair:  The stream weakened and the Jiffy Jet stopped squirting.  I removed and disassembled the foot pump.  I think something was caught in one of the check valves, because in a bench test, it worked.

The rubber bladder had a permanent indentation from the plunger, and the beginning of a crack.  I turned the bladder upside down and reassembled the pump.  When I reinstalled the pump, it leaked at the hose fittings. 

I disassembled the pump again, and super-glued the fittings to the bladder, and filled the cracks with superglue.  I reassembled and reinstalled the pump, and it is working, for now.

The rubber bladder puts me in mind of fuel priming bulb for an outboard motor. That might be a suitable, maybe even cheaper, replacement if needed.

Thanks, johnsartain, for the tip - fuel priming pump for outboard, as possible replacement for aging Jiffy Jet bladder.  We'll see how long my bladder (the one in the Jiffy Jet pump) lasts.
