Hi Alfred,

It gets clamped to the defroster tube. Here's a photo of the one from my July 1953 coupe. It's basically two muffler clamps (of different diameter) welded together.

Contact Rick Albro. He's a registry member.

Also, which pump do you have?

Thanks James, I am not were the car is at this time, Up in Alaska for the next three weeks. But I can build that clamp, Just needed to see one. Not sure I have the right pump for the 54, I will look at the pump when I get back. Thanks Al an yes its is a cool -20 today

Alaska! Fantastic! Good luck with the build. Contact Rick Albro if you need some tips.

Thanks James! Alfred some of the washer pumps had a spacer depending on weather you have the barrel shaped or the cylinder shaped pump. I think the same bracket was used but the barrel shaped pumps needed a bit more diameter... James did a great job of documenting the various pumps in the linked post.

To add one more wrinkle, the original bracket from my car is actually sized exactly for the barrel pump used in 1953. Here's a photo showing the perfect fit.

Rick restored the pump for me - remade the barrel-shaped housing - and did a tremendous job!
