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  Roll Eyes

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

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 Huh?

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.
