Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Windshield squirter didn't squirt.

Had to fabricate a new button - the button wasn't able to push far enough.

Here is what worked:

3/4" long
1/4"OD shoulder 1/16" thick, drilled 1/8"DIA only 1/8" deep
3/16" shaft for the remainder, rounded tip.

Drill the non-squirting knob 3/16" right through the center. And, like, use a lathe for this.
