That’s oaky Luke,but have you thought about or tried auto car washer jets?
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!

Yes I would like to try them but I don't live near a scrap yard or any big shops really so looking around is not an option!!!! Could you point me in the direction of a certain type from a certain make/model car ? Luke

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.

Blimey this is getting more like the DIY site every day.
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

here you are luke,  this is how to fit car washer nozzles without drilling




replace pin with small screw

this is a cooker cable holder with original pin

this is a volvo nozzle, they are best as they are ultra flat, plus turbo
