Hi All, during one of my trolling sessions on the forum I discovered someone had sourced the washer nozzles to fit the wiper bezel. They were sourced from the USA the name just alludes me at present and also a suggestion was posted that the items were also available here in OZ. A part number was furnished namely 55-17666.
Not wishing to belabour the fact I purchased a set from Classis Pick Up Supplies in Qld. The items arrived promptly and on attempting to install same on my FC discovered that the thread diameter was much smaller than the screw plug removed from the wiper bezel. Needless to say i was disappointed.
I am posting this as my experience, with no prejudice intended regarding anyone's past dealings or acquisitions from other sources. Thanks Norman

I purchased a set, but from Mutton Hollow Chevys, based on the advice in the same post. I haven't got that far in tjhe resto yet but will try to lay my hands on them (I just don't recall where they are at the moment) and see how they fit.
Thansk for the heads up.
I bought a pair from greedy bits a few years ago, about $40 from memory, and work as intended.

I bought mine from Classic pick up parts supplies in Australia.

$19 a pair
Meant to add these fitted my bezels without any modifications.
I felt guilty, as I had posted a Guide on windscreen washers a long time ago, here:

I was worried I must have offered the bad advice for the 55-17666 part number. Checked, and glad to see I didn't (I suggested Rover P6 nozzles or retapping and using a grease nipple).
I tried searching the forum for 55-17666, but cannot find anything. Can you post a link to that thread please?
Cheers,

Found the post... something screwy with the search function (or I hadn't had enough coffee):
