Title: Winscreen wiper assembly
Post by: FCV08 on September 12, 2011, 11:15:21 PM
Can anyone let me know where I can get the windscreen washer tube to fit to my wiper mounts?

I have the jets just need these tubes.

Thanks

Hi Craig,
  A quick and easy way to sort this problem out is to use clear fish tank air hose. It works perfect as i just checked and it's a snug, tight fit ( you just have to be careful as there's 2 type of sizes used...just take your wiper washer with you i guess ). It's cheap as chips and you can get it at variety stores, Pet Stores, BigW, Kmart or sneak some off your mates fish tank when he's not looking  ::)

but it will do the trick for you... im going to use it   ;)

hope it helps you out Craig

ouch that would be a hard one to find.... maybe it might be best to source ones that have them or tap a small nipple into the housing and than connect the washer line to the nipple ????

it's just a thought... but it might just work...getting that tube on its own might be rare task

Try a place that specializes in water pumps, we have McCrackens in Qld. Plumbing supplies wholesalers should have it as well. The pressure switches use a small copper or plastic tube to operate the pressure switch, 3/16th or 1/4 inch. I bought a metre of copper a couple of months ago for $9. They'll have compression fittings to fit as well.
