Are those one way thingamy jiggys that sit in the bottom of the washer bottle available? How about the brittle/ ancient/ cracked plastic locking ring for the plunger on the dash rail?

P.S. Just checked the factpry drawing for this part. It says it was first used on the P76. It's just a filter, not a one-way valve, but would still be worthwhile for a Mini to remove any dirt before it gets to the jet. :wink:

Mini King Parts book (p 228) shows AYD9065 as the 2-barb valve and the funnel-shaped valve your had a link to, both under the same part number. I recently bought the funnel-shaped one you showed from MKO as it was all he had available. It is a 1-way valve with gauze filter. It is GWW506 in other catalogues.
P 228 also shows the T piece/valve, so these variations have all been available at various times.
The 2-barb valve seems to have been meant to be inline, so it might be intended to fit in the cap and join 2 tubes.
I am fairly certain that the 2 barb was at the bottom of the bottle when my K was new because I didn't know what it was there for.

Thanks guys,
I checked the valve in the line before the bottle and added another valve before the T piece. All's now good in the world and its working like a treat.

Cheers,
James.

Does anyone have a spare plastic locking ring that secures the plastic washer pump to the bracket? I can't locate one:-( probably because they are so brittle and haven't aged well... (the actual pumps are easy to get)
Thanks in advance

Michael

Yeah they age badly and become brittle. I had one that broke and I superglued it and it lasted a while. It's worth supporting the back of the pump with your fingers while pumping with your thumb to avoid breakage (depends where it's mounted)

The plastic rings I'm not sure you can get anymore. There may be a metal replacement?

I managed to find a new old stock pump and believe it or not the ring is white not that yellow colour they all turn.
