Tubes are 1/8" OD (3.2mm). SuperCheap sells vacuum hose by the metre that will fit. Ed Ho's 4mm sprinkler system barb modification is highly reccomended (see the washer doc) to prevent leaks or blowoff.
Cheers,
Harv.

Harv,your a legend, forgot all about that link what an easy way to solve the problem of the hose falling off(nothing worse than being pissed on inside the car).
Neil, got an email from the states, my washers are on the way. I to will be fitting the barbs to mine.
Regards Jim

Neil, I forgot to ask, what did you use for your washer bottle? Ihave an aftermarket kit from rares that looks like the old torana that screws onto the inner guard.

Jim I bought a washer bottle kit years ago when I started my conversion and I don't remember where I got it. It does screw to the inner guard however the motor/pump is underneath and I have been having drama with the motor hitting the step of the inner guard and not letting the screw holes on the bottle luggs sit low enough so I went and purchased a polished metal tank from Rares, the motor also fits underneath but I have modified it so the motor now sits in the side and welded up the hole in the bottom so that there are no more issues.
I have seen a plastic tank that had the motor recessed into the front and I think I was told it was a HQ but I'm not really sure.
Good news about the nozzles being on their way you will probably get yours first as I'm in WA.
Neil

Neil, I had a look at mine this afternoon, I'm going to mount it near the lh hinge there looks as if there's enough room although I'll have to make up a bracket to keep it off the hinge. I also did the washer posts today, I used a straight connector barb instead of the 't' peice used on the fb/ek site. I put an 1/8in. bit in my drill press and carefully reamed it out(took a few goes) end result is a full length adaptor so the hose will have more grip when installed (just had to trim off the centre block).
Regards Jim

Just received my washer nozzles from the states on friday and fitted them. They are great and work really well. Have now completed the installation and everything working from the new switch that was mentioned in the wiper motor mod.
One question "Where my nozzles screw in at the base of the wiper arms both nozzles are on the passenger side should one be on the left and one on the right I am thinking that somebody in the past may have fitted 2 drivers side bezzals as the passenger side washer nozzle does spray a little to the passenger side."

I think all the bezels are right hand, I've looked at all the ones I have as well as another boby I just purchased and they are all the same. Right side squirts under the wiper and left sid behind the wiper. I got mine last week as well but forgot to post the photos.

Correct - all bases have the squirter on the same side.

Bugger Ken, you got me curious and made me go digging through the windscreen washer parts box again You're right, the FE/FC bases are all tapped on one side only, whilst the FB ones are tapped on both sides on each bezel (not that FB will fit FE/FC). Cheers, Harv. |
