Replacement bracket which mounts the washer jar onto the radiator support.

n various automobile models, including many made by General Motors (GM), during the 1962-1972 period. The purpose of the washer jar bracket was to securely hold the windshield washer fluid reservoir, commonly referred to as the washer jar. Here are some key details about the 1962-1972 washer jar bracket:

  1. Function: The washer jar bracket served as a mounting and support structure for the washer jar. It allowed the washer jar to be securely attached to the vehicle's engine bay or another appropriate location, ensuring that it remained in place during driving and didn't interfere with other engine components.

  2. Material: Washer jar brackets were typically made of metal, often steel, to provide strength and durability. They needed to withstand the weight of the washer jar, as well as the vibrations and movements experienced by the vehicle during operation.

  3. Mounting Location: The specific mounting location of the washer jar bracket could vary depending on the vehicle make and model. However, it was commonly positioned in the engine compartment, often near the firewall or fender, where it was easily accessible for filling the washer jar with washer fluid.

  4. Compatibility: Washer jar brackets were designed to be compatible with the specific make and model of the vehicle. Different car models had variations in their engine bay layouts, so the bracket needed to fit the available space and align properly with the washer jar.

  5. Installation: Installing a washer jar bracket typically involved securing it to the vehicle's body or frame using bolts, screws, or other fasteners. The washer jar would then be attached to the bracket, allowing it to hang securely in the designated location.

  6. Restoration: For enthusiasts restoring or maintaining classic cars from this era, finding original or reproduction washer jar brackets is important to ensure authenticity and functionality. Many aftermarket parts suppliers offer replacement brackets for various classic car models like us.

  7. Maintenance: Over time, the washer jar bracket, like other metal components in the engine bay, could be subject to rust and corrosion. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and applying protective coatings, could help extend its lifespan and prevent degradation.
