Looking for an nos or show quality original washer fluid bottle which houses sensor for low fluid level to digital dash.
i see plenty of bottles without the port for sensor, but no repros for attaching the unit to tank.
Thanks!

Just buy a new one from Classic Industries, Hawks, or F Body Warehouse and cut the new 1 1/2" hole and add you sensor. I done that with my 88 GTA Digital.

Just like Bob says, all the bottles are the same, just with the hole. Just drill it out and the grommet for the sensor will cover the edges

Well.. that didn’t work. The new washer bottle came in from Classic industries and didn’t fit as the bottle doesn’t have the cut out for the cruise control. Unfortunately, all the oem bottles are the same for a non cruise car. . It would have been easy to cut the hole for the sensor but the bottle is physically to big given it’s for a non cruise car. I may just try to clean up the one I have . Bummer.

Sure you got the right one? There are two, maybe you got the wrong year

I have to see the other side of that picture to see if the taper is there for the cruise. I’ve attached a photo of mine,

Just called Hawk and they said go with the 88-92 and drill the hole. Perfect. Thanks Scooter.
