supramkivcork Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Recently i bought one of these, unfortunately the washer jets that were in previous bonnet were too large to fit in new bonnet, anyone else have similar problems ? Is it possible to buy small washer jets ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannoSupra Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Ive seen a few people put them on the wipers, can easily be done tidy with cable ties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Get some wipers with washers built in. Or enlarge the holes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Get some wipers with washers built in. I will have to get some of those wipers Ken as I need washers too - great idea mate;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesF Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Washer jets off another car?... They're interchangable Spray pattern may be wrong but you can adjust them with a pin or something similarly small. Why not go for mist washer jets?...

heckler Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have one, the jets of my oem bonnet fitted fine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Just get a small file and make the hole a bit bigger. Had to do it to mine, took 5 mins per side, just keep test fitting, you don't want to make the hole to big:blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybean Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hey Mark I would try tucking them away first, would look alot cleaner. But with my Carbon Guage Pod I had to cut out the Holes, some masking tape and a round file did the trick, just measure twice file once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest david Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 i had my bonnet from knight racer i did not fit the washers from original bonnet but Jo said if these are to small get a file and file them down.i got some ripe speed ones from halfords fitted fine http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_154769_langId_-1_categoryId_165675 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supramkivcork Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Cheers for the advice lads, I think I'll try tucking them away alright, looks decent enough that way. @david : might go that route if i'm not happy with them tucked away.

supramkivcork Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Ya being honest I only need it for the nct which is the irish equivalent of Uk mot. Once it passes, I'm not too bothered after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
