washer bottle holes in inner fender

[burdar]

Just got my 68 Dart back from the body shop. It looks like they welded up the washer bottle holes on the inner fender. There were some extra holes I wanted welded up but it looks like they welded them all. Can I get a measurement from some 68 Dart owners?

A measurment from the firewall to the closest hole is find. I can use the bottle itself to locate the other hole. Then maybe a measurement from the edge of where the inner fender starts angling down to the hole so I have two points of reference. Thanks

Look under the fenderwell to see where they were. You will have to move them front or back a tad because you cannot put a hole where the weld is with an awl.

This is from my 67 dart.

From firewall to forward screw

Inner fender lip to front hole.

From firewall to rear screw

From inner fender lip to rear screw.

If it was me I would set the bottle with pump in place and make sure my measurements work with your bottle.

Then use a sharp center punch to mark the holes.

If you could make the hole more of factory punched hole that would be better for a screw to bite into.

Also touch up the paint in the holes you make.

Perfect! Thanks for those measurements. I'm using a custom aluminum tank for the washer bottle. I made it fit the factory holes. I'll definitely mark your hole locations and test fit the tank again to make sure they will work. Thanks

Those dimensions were correct. I was able to look on the bottom side and drilled right next the where the old holes were plugged. Thanks to both of you!
