As i sold my bonnet for a lightweight alloy one i also sold the washer jets and pipework so im looking into these has anyone purchased them and used them they must be better than standered as the water is directed straight onto the screen along the length of the blade .

Your thoughts please

At first glance, it would seem like a complete no brainer: why not?

But some things to think about:

1. Can you replace the baldes when they become due without clarting about too much, and aslo paying extra for un-needed gubbins?

2. Will the supplied pipework be ok for repeated backwards and forwards bending that it will be certain to get when fitted? Or any rubbing?

3. Is there clearance to FIT the pipework etc? ie: from where it has to emerge from under the bonnet?

Others may come up with different things, but those were the ones that sprang to mind.

 

was thinking of doing a one wiper conversion on my car is there any info on this ?

 

In a word, WHY?

Take a look at the left hand side of your screen where the wipers leave an arc. Do you want that on BOTH sides? On the M1 in filthy conditions?

 

Only me in it mate it's a sprint car !

 

 

Point taken though !

 

I don't know about the pipe work Lee but these are amazing:

I got these a few months back and the quality is like nothing else. Just what you want on the track mate

 

Replaced my standard washer jets with some misting Peugeot/Citroen ones. Direct fit, far better cleaning than the OEM kit. Washer fluid doesn't last nearly as long though

 

350z's have them on as standard and work great. I don't really see a down point to them.
Plus you can get rid of the washer jets on the bonnet.

Have the PIAA wipers on mine and cant fault them at all! Hardly need the wipers at speed, the rain just runs off!

 

Same here the Piaa are brilliant

 

hello mate
do you have a link at all to the washer jets you bought??

thanks

Nick.

 

But you`d be left with 2 holes

 

They would be these ones:

I have done the same mod. They fire a bit low and you cant adjust them but still way better than the originals.

 

Brilliant,thanks mate,and is it just a case of un-clipping the old one and clipping this one in place??

Nick.

 

Exactly. From underneath the bonnet squeeze the clips together and push the washer out.

Takes minutes.

 

great thanks alot

Nick

 

Fill them in, it would smarten up the bonnet.

OR if your 17 you could always put led lights in them!

 

Far from 17 ............................unfortunately

 

PIAA have just brought out Aero blade versions rather than the ones shown in that Scoobyparts link

 

I'm pretty sure they sell those too as they're the ones I've got

 

Did you bother looking into this Lee?

 

Had a look at Duncan's race car while down at RCM and he has just removed the left wiper showed me it working and works fine mate !

 

What about the washer jets?

 

Joined the passenger with a through joiner and just had drivers side jet

 

Ok, I am just weighing up how to improve them over standard and wondered did you get any better washers or the blades you originally linked to

Thanks buddy
