generic replacement washer pump and bottle combo is around 8 quid off ebay, a little fiddling with hoses and connecting the motor, via a switch to a cigarette lighter plug and you could, potentially, have a dirtworker, and be about 60 quid better off.
not sure if the pressure from one of those things would be up to the job though. tempted to have a bash at it, just to see.
any thoughts?
anyone know statistics of flow, and pressure for washer pumps?
in comparison to a dirt worker?
discuss. x
mine only cost £25. doesnt seem worth the hassle.....
Looks good, will you be offering free bike wahses at Afan next weekend then?
I've been looking into something similar, my camper has an extra water tank, so I've thought about rigging it up to a deckwash pump that the boating types use. Thing is, they are not cheap. Most kits come with a lance.
lol, need to choose a bike first.
Summer season, and be holding y'all up, or Trance, and be holding y'all up, but with pivots...
you could, potentially, have a dirtworker
yes, yes - of course you would. Crack on then.
Olly, I like your thinking!
Not sure the pressure would be quite as good, and long persistant use might eventually kill the pump, but for £8 you've got to have a go! You get points for ingenuity anyway 8)
deckwash pump
Mine costs £1500.
I use a caravan water pump with a normal hosepipe and sprayer dropped into a bucket/drum of water. A Whale pump retails at around £35. Works fine for events. The windscreen washer pump kit above would have neither the capacity,flow or pressure to be of use.
IMHO
Built one years ago. Same as PhilChap above.
Used it for cx racing to stop the car getting ditched.
as in screen washer? they barely make it up the windscreen
use a brush for quick clean down
