Default washer reservoir mount.

can anyone show me where/how the original washer bottle mounts in an 8? I'm finally getting the system running and have nothing to compare to. I think I have the right bottle and bracket.

No, that's not original even if it works, unless a weird 1981 thing, haven't seen it before or how it would mount. I meant to add a pic and forgot. It's similar to the overflow bottle being a bracket strap, nuts secures to bottle and u-nuts on the feet with bolts up through the inner fenders.
Pretty sure you can get them in repro now, wasn't always the case.

I think Camaro used that type, Firebird usually have the strap bracket similar to the overflow bottle. The jar screws onto it and has u-nuts on the feet, fender bolts up through the inner fender.
I meant to post a pic and forgot. Not sure if 81 used fancy features like the overflow bottle alterations, will check.

Confirmed as 77-81 Camaro washer bottle bracket, bottle suits either model.

Different bottles in pics but same bracket fit most, available repro and used. Bottom pic shows the U-nuts used to secure up through inner fender.
