I have sourced a "similar" looking washer bottle with integrated motor out of a Toyota at a local scrapyard to tied me over till an original pops up on here or flea bay.
I've also salvaged some rubber capillary tubing - the one thing missing is the hidden water jet on the pass side. Because of the way these were fashioned, I doubt there is anything similar out there I can substitute in its place.
So I guess I'm looking for someone with a spare hood which has the original jets still in place ...... Have a look please, would you ?
Thanks all
Regards

I make my own jets from copper brake pipe,carefully pinching the end to get the two jets,bend pipe to pattern and make a mount like original and solder on. Hard to get repro jets.

My car had one missing and I did the same, made one out of brake pipe. I've recently fitted new ones, they came with a new washer bottle and motor. Not sure where I got it from but I think it was ebay.
So I have a spare set, one original and one I made but I doubt they would be the same as yours.

I'll take them off you - if they are the "hidden" jets that mount beneath the bonnet and spray the screen through the vents, then I'm sure they will....
I'd happily buy em off you and try ....... If it doesn't work, I'll get messing with copper piping.
Let me know, thanks

I'll dig them out at the weekend and post a picture. I seem to remember the one on the passenger side has a tee so you can connect a pipe to the drivers side. That's the one I made.

I hear ya ! - but the kick in the nuts is that the postage to the UK is high ! Hence me scrounging a suitable replacement in my local "scrappy"
That white "butterfly" T shaped jet is the thingy I need however .....
