Default Early C3 owners, Show me your Windshield Wiper Washer Reservoir

I need to see the tube that goes down into the reservoir (1971). Mine was missing so I used a bit of fuel hose but when I removed it the other day to fill it the hose was bloated and coming apart. My guess it's the alcohol in the de-ice type washer fluid.

Thanks

But DAMN, I really need to clean up my wiper bay. I'm glad it's hidden under the wiper door.

Hi ta,
Here's the cap, hose (20" long), and strainer (fine brass/copper mesh), used with the hard plastic washer bottle on cars without a/c.
It's from my 71.
Regards.
Alan

That's it. Thanks. My guess is that just rubber like a vacuum hose. Not sure why the fuel hose I used deteriorated like it did. I got some chemical resident plastic tubing that I know will work. I guess I need to come up with a filter. Never thought of that.
