Want to hide windshield washer hoses

Greetings all..hope there are some builders out there that have some great ideas on how to move and hide washer hoses so that they no longer are visable in the engine compartment at the firewall.

All ideas and advise will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Want to hide windshield washer hoses

I've been looking at this very issue. Just read through the electric washer pump conversion and was trying to find options.

I'll post pics if I come up with something. I'm sure it's been done.

Re: Want to hide windshield washer hoses

The only way I can see it is you`ll have to run your washer bottle in the cab and run your hoses thru the bulkhead into the cowl area.

Re: Want to hide windshield washer hoses

The view of my washer hoses are somewhat minimized, going through the driver side lip of the firewall flange, and running over to a pair of outlets in the center (shown in the circles). The aftermarket electric washer pump is mounted below the bottle on the driver side of the radiator support.

To completely hide the hoses, it would seem relatively easy to run the main line under the inner fender support (arrow) into the cab. From there run a line into the back of the dash/fresh air plenum and connect to the nozzles directly under the cowl vent.

That looks very clean. I was looking to do something like that.
