After looking around I've concluded that it's safer to convert the "spare-wheel-pressure" system with an electric one.
Does anyone have any suggestions/notes/comments regarding this?

You can also keep the original water bottle, and just add an electric pump in-line of the water pipe, and a switch on the dash.

Now that's what I was hoping for.
Any advice on retrofitting the existing push switch to work the pump?

Re: Electric Windshield Washer
Take all those pipe thinies off(ques work here) and try to fit those micro swiches at the back that you can push with the button? Thid is a long shot.

Re: Electric Windshield Washer
Guess it will be possible but in the process you will break a few switches...
