Washer jets upgrade?

Post by Gooner »

Has anyone got any advice on how I can upgrade the washer jets on my '98 SW20 to a fan spray? Recently bought Ford fusion ones, but do not clear wipers, so the search starts again....... Any advice appreciated, Thanx

Haven't tried to make them fit yet but they're so cheap I thought I'd give them a go

Yes, unfortunately the eBay link is long dead :sad: I vaguely recollect something about them having to be right angled because of reinforcing on the bonnet ?
