Where can I get Spray nozzles for my windshield washer?

Post by reelfishin »

We have one missing and would like to replace all three sprayers on the windshield washers. I have looked at auto stores and some marine supply stores. I think I will have to make them. I have not tried Beacon Marine yet. The site is being redone and I cannot use the phone to call.
Any suggestions on where to get the parts? I do know the part of the sprayer going through the cabin top has to be atleast 1 1/2 inches long.

Look at some cars near by if you find one close go to a dealer of that type and see what they will do ( the more info on the car the better )

The problem I am finding with car nozzles is that they are not long enough to go through the fiberglass base. Most I see are about 1 inch long or shorter. But I may have to look some more to be sure they will not all work.

Vetus shows one in thier on-line catalogue. http://www.stright-mackay.com also shows systems and fittings though they are in Canada.

So far I have not been able to find it in their catalogue. I will go through it again. What did you look for it under. I tried windshield washer nozzle and windshield washer.
