Is this bottle the one suited to a pump/motor that has a plastic hex nut to secure it????

Brad. It has the correct cap attachment that is the same as my very early LX- which basicly has LH running gear
& accessories.

He said the radiator clamps suit HK-Q 350 models and smaller (I guess 2 inch) ones are being
released next year.

I have sent a PM via Les. What did you determine in regards to the two different pn washer bottles?

Yeah I know I'm not the David your referring to.
Anyway, I've checked an old M37068 reservoir I've got laying around and the original/genuine hole size is correct to take the washer motor fitting. It appears that Rares use the earlier type HK to LC reservoir that has the hose nipple fitting and just have it printed with the appropriate wording to suit the LH - UC models.
I would expect the only thing you can do is remove the nipple and use a rats tail file to enlarge the hole to suit.
I would avoid being tempted to ream the hole out with a drill bit unless you drill carefully with a cordless drill on slow speed and step up with drill bits in half millimeter increments to obtain the desired hole size.
Too big a bite in the plastic with a large drill bit may crack the reservoir.

We have investigated the query you raised regarding the washer bottle and it appears that both 7434262 and 7434262A will not suite your application. Further at this stage we don’t have any other part that will suit. The problem, as you have already picked up, is that the hole in the bottom of the bottle is too small to fit your pump. What we will do is specifically rework these to suit Torana’s and create a separate part number.
So all up that is great news for Torana owners. The pump I have, I believe is the correct one?

The pump/motor slotted in nicely into the new rubber grommet of the replacement washer bottle, I applied a little bit of sealant for good measure also.
PROBLEM SOLVED. Thank you once again Rare Spares!
