you can get an older washer bottle from an XJ or a different vehicle and mount it inside the engine bay. I am using a tiny bottle out of some ricer style vehicle. You can see the big XJ one here

but I have since replaced it with a smaller one.

Kejtar, could you post a bigger picture? I can seem to read the part number off that washer bottle.
 
I like the life-sized pic :)

I just wanna know what kind of filter canister that is, and what filter you run inside of it...?

rear wiper works and IIRC everything fit with the exception of one of the wire connectors so I just respliced the old onto new.

it's a rover canister and it has a regular paper filter inside.

that's what it connects to

I ran a big rubber air intake hose from IIRC a FORD truck inside of the fender towards the spot where the snorkel comes out.
