They even switched the wipers for left hand drive, which is something which does not always happen when retired British appliances are reworked for export to places like Argentina. I don’t know if they fitted Stortz hose couplings, but it used to be that the BS instantaneous fittings were left unchanged, and the pumps were simply equipped with a few extra short lengths of hose with one end fitted with an instantaneous and the other with a Stortz coupling. Simple, cheap and effective!
