Windshield washer jet

Post by rjkoop »

The windshield washer jets on my '81 are broken. I could get the ones from AR but was hoping to get a generic one locally. Anyone know which ones would fit? The autoparts stores have a generic one but way too big.

I bought chrome one from AR so I have one black made of plastic if you need it.

Got the new wiper jets and bushings now.

Probably a silly question but how do I install them? Does the bushing fit in the hole from the top, then insert the jet through the bushing and then attach the hose on the back side? Just want to make sure I don't break these things! :(

Not sure this was correct but seemed to fit nice and tight. So for others...

Push bushing in from the top (skinny end goes 1st through the hole)
Push washer tube up through the bushing from underneath
Slide washer jet onto wash tube
Push washer jet into bushing and ensure it's snug to top of bushing
