Duel or single,either can be used.They can also be either in a fixed postion
Or can be the adjustable type.They can be fixed without having to drill a hole
For the jet.Attach the jets to a Perspex/plastic strip,in turn attach your jets to
That,and your away!

Post by: L.Doubtfire - The Blade Runner on January 17, 2008, 06:50:54 pm: I got mine from the I think it`s Woolco auto parts.They are a universal type.
I`ve a few both single and duel.They range in price from £1 to £3.50p for a
Pack of 2.Obviously I would`nt adise gong to a scrapyard.They are 1 millimeter
Jet holes.I like the moveable/adjustable ones.

Yes thats one way of doing it Luke or you could use the Hozelock jets you found. Good pics (where the eck did you find my pic). But I drill out the goof plugs. The hose is available under Algarde/Yamitsu topic on Matts site £16.50 100m but someone found it for £11
