Two types of washer system were used on both Austin and Morris cars.  Standard on de-luxe and optional on basic cars.
Wingard glass bottle and accompanying bracket and pump.  The correct bottle will have UGB 16 embossed on the bottom.  It is a 16 floz capacity.  Glass bottle fitted to Morris cars up until chassis number 34014.  Plastic Tudor has no end date recorded."

RedRiley: Looks to be the size of a 2-cup standard mason jar. if so, you can get metal tops or white plastic ones.

Anyone know what the size of the opening on those washer jars is? This would totally work.

Do you have one that you've made?

Those original glass bottles go for big money.... I would imagine a lid would be pricey also.... ( unless reproduced like said )

I remember seeing somewhere that those Wingard caps were being reproduced. Check with the 1959 mini Register, they might know.

Hey guys. I am looking for a washer bottle cap. I have the old one but its rotted. The brand was Washer Wingard. Any ideas where I can find this cap? Thank you.
