I have a generic aftermarket window washer water bottle unit in my car and would like to replace it with an original period correct unit.  Can anyone tell me what unit was used in the Mk IV's (what car it came from) and how was it mounted. I have pictures of it but nothing close enough to show the mounting bracket and how it is fitted. 

If you have one of these could you please post a pic or two of what the bracket looks like and how it is mounted in the car.

Thanks in advance :)

This is the bottle I am after and any pictures of the bracket used to attach it. I see this bottle mounted in a number of AK12xx cars (1220, 1226, 1238, 1268) and even AK1500 and AKL1328 so it was some sort of std fitting for Angliss cars for some time.

What Ford model this comes off and pictures of the bracket would be most appreciated.  Just can't get a pic with enough detail to see how the bracket is fashioned.

Just to close this thread off I have finally managed to identify this mystery washer bottle that Autokraft used for at least a short period of time.  I found 2 references for the same part number.

FORD ESCORT MK2 1974–1981 Windscreen Washer Bottle Tank & Pump Motor 78AG17618AA
FORD TRANSIT MK3 1986 to 1991 Windscreen Washer Bottle Tank & Pump 78AG17618AA

Appears to be as rare as rocking horse pooh but I have managed to finally source one from Ebay.
