Reid,
Out of curiosity (several years ago) I dissected one of my many failed
washer pumps. It's simple but clever. It's nothing more than a
squeeze-bulb and a plunger in an aluminium case.
A friend of mine in the North Texas AHC fabricated a new case with a
sealed piston. He used the original mount and plunger shaft/knob for
appearance. Unfortunately it didn't work.
I would think you could rebuilt a stock one if you applied patience,
perseverance, and creativity. Or you could carry a squirt bottle in the
boot.
