[Shotimes] Headlight washers

[Ron Porter]

I know that there's other cars that have it, but the 911 setup (as on my old
'84) has a washer nozzle that fits in the bumper, and a small high-pressure
motor. It also uses steel-mesh-reinforced hoses to the nozzle. It could
probably be adapted quite easily.

I often drive an Audi TT with pop-up headlight washers and they do wonders
in winter conditions, however I am looking for a simpler system using fixed
nozzles on the bumper and no interaction with the headlights & wipers, just
a momentary on/off switch, so basically I need nozzles & a pump.  As you
mentioned I will check the imports and see if anything can be adapted.
