window washer reservoir

[Rodney]

Any chance someone has had to replace the bushing on the underside of the window washer reservoir? The tank on my XD30 is moving excessively and on removing it I see that it is supported by a rubber bushing on the underside which has totally worn away. I would appreciate a photo or sketch as to what it should look like if at all possible. Am I stuck with Nissan or is there an alternate supplier?

Perhaps try Dawid Volschenk.
If he can't help, one can probably be machined from Vescoflex or cast in Polyurethane.

Or even 3-D printed from a flexible material.

If Dawid can't help, let me know and I will dig it out and at least draw it up and we can take it from there.

Thanks Peter.

I will give Dawid a call later in the week when i am back home.

I called in at Nissan on my way home late yesterday. The mounting could be identified on their system but without a picture or a sketch. Its priced at under R40.00 and must most probably be ordered from Japan. A new order may increase the price a bit but that is less than the cost of getting one sent by Dawid (if he has one). I placed the order and will post a picture when it eventually arrives. Thanks for the assistance and suggestions.
