Default I/C spray from washer bottle

Anyone done this mod on a newage (or classic i suppose)

Whats involved- parts? fitting?

I was considering sourcing a rear washer motor/pump from a wagon because this will plug straight in the already fitted washer bottle- running a switch into the dash and sourcing an I/C switch (or any subaru switch i suppose!!)

Anyone see difficulties from this

Where could i get a wiring diagram to find out what cable to power the washer pump?

I have a zerosports splitter which already has waterspray connections

Any ideas help greatly appreciated

I started out with this method. using the headlamp wash redirected to the IC. this was on a classic. problem was couldn't put screen wash in bottle as not good for IC. then I sourced a spare washer bottle and mounted it in the boot. wiring was easy. took a live to a switch then to pump from pump to earth. used a s/hand fog light switch and removed little spring inside of switch to stop it staying permanatey on

Cheers Ken

Of course screen wash!!

I spoke to someone saturday they said to get the proper IC spray bottle in they had to remove the driveshaft- dont fancy that- the actual wiring was easy then?

Trevor think sti7 & 8 had them in the boot. spec C has 12L one in boot.
wiring easy but put a line fuse in for safety.
