56 Super 88 Windshield Washer Question

I just bought a Trico windshield washer pump/bottle/bracket for my 56 Super 88 (the original was missing). Can someone shoot a picture of where this goes? The two hoses are still on the car, so I know I'm in the right area, but I can't see any holes on the fender for the bracket. I'm wondering if I have the wrong bracket. Thanks, Frank

I still have it, along with a lot of other '56 4dr. stuff (if needed).
I'll clean it and prime it. Send me an e-mail (hotheat@bellsouth.net) with an address.

After starting to clean it up, I find that the top of the bracket is INDEED at an angle. My mistake. If you still want it, let me know. Mike

Thanks Mike.

The windshield washer bracket I have is angled, so I have the correct one after all. Thanks for the effort. I found the problem. The horns on my Super 88 are mounted on the right side of the radiator, and I think they should be on the left side. That's why I can't get the bracket to line up. Wow, what an adventure this car is turning out to be...The simple things are driving me nuts.

Thanks again Mike. If you could get a list of the parts you have, I think I'll need some things to get this car back in shape.

Frank
