Help needed, have you ever seen this?

Hi Michael.

It look like the same there are on SAAB 99.
But not chore.

Mikael,

I spent several hours scouring the web for this part. The closest I can find is a SINGLE reference but the part looks correct (less the screw holes for mounting).

See here:

You can hopefully repair yours.

Also, I looked through all of my Longchamp images and can't find a single other car that has these washer nozzles or your unique windscreen wiper arm assembly. Perhaps your car was used as a test car for new ideas at the factory?

Good luck!

Brilliant Mark. I think it's them, strangely w/o the holes for attachment, but that can be fixed. They're out of stock, but now I have a lead.

How on Earth did you find them?

Some further hours, I'm pretty sure they were found on Alfa GTV6's, see pictures. ANybody knows where GTV6's go to die when used up?

Yeah, old GTV6's go to Tom Zat's house: Alfa Heaven. Want me to ask him if he can supply these?

Yes please MarsRed

Inquiry sent. I'm sure I'll be talking with Tom later today. I'll let you know what I learn.

Mikael;

I sent a note to Santiago, but I know that everyone is on vacation. I expect him back around the 28th. I will let you know what I find out, but I think you are on the right path, as many parts were borrowed from the parts bin of other cars (Fiat, Lancia, Alfa or others). I can say that i never saw any "Nordic" required equipment in the factory. I would assume that many times these were added before the car was imported. Similar to the Amerisport conversions of the Pantera.

Thanks Wellis.
FYI this car only had Italian owners until I bought it in 2008, and washers were installed by then.

Had exact same installed on my 85 Deauville too. Cracked and not functioning.
Threw them in the bin. Don't want them.

Espen, never throw anything out, some other owner may need it one day. You should see my attic... :-)

What did you do with the holes in the bumper?

Mikael,
Sorry for delay. Tom is checking. Answer soon.
Paul

Mikael,
Looks like Tom does not have those.
He thought it may have been from a model 6 originally, and if so it's a really rare part.
He mentioned that Fiat is not producing parts for the older Alfas.
Paul

Ok. Thanks for trying!

Yeah, sorry about that. But I never thought anybody would want those - on any car. :-)
For now I just put on some silver tape. I have plans for replacing the (ugly) bumpers, but thing are going really slow here.

Mikael,
After writing the above I just thought of DeTomaso as the owner of Maserati. They used parts from each other in that periode.
I searched picures of Quatroporte III, and believe I found the exact part.
And here's something from ebay:

Espen, it might be them...

Finally got a link to this item on ebay.de, at a whopping €129. Ridiculous price, almost passed, but then I thought so many people have spent time helping me with this, here and some very nice people on an Alfa forum, so I had to buy it. Amazingly nice considering I wanted to buy a rare Alfa part and put on a non-Alfa, but this just goes to show that classic car people are the best...

They would only sell to Germany, so had it sent to a German Pantera owner, and then to me. With luck this will work, then I just have to decide whether to drill holes in it or fill the holes in the old one, so left and right look the same.

A lot of work for something that I have practically no use for, but if it's there, it has to work!

My Pantera has headlamp washer jets with a Bosch pump and large water tank, it was intended to be imported into Sweden. The nozzles would drip but I got some replacement check valves.

Picture please bdud?

Picture 1.

So now I have a new nozzle on my desk. To look like the other one, it has to be drilled and painted. And I don't know if it works yet. The challenge is that if it has a different resistante to the other one, all water flows to one only. Then I have to try and adjust.
Thanks to helpers, especially Mark. I'll keep you posted on whether it works

To equalize the flow you need to restrict the one which has less resistance

Try a Fish Tank Air Buble valve it has same Hose dimension.

My 1970 Corvette had Head Light washers. The Nozzles were a lot smaller then these! And...maybe could mounted on the bottom of the Head Light bucket, out of site when the lights are down? Just a thought?

Finally, after 8 years! And with a little help from my friends...

First played with the small spring in the old one, if not totally right length all spray would come out on one headlight only


Was a bit scary drilling the holes in the new one. Then sanding and painting both, later installing, and then wait 24 hours to take this picture

So now everything works! What to do then?!

Ah, almost forgot, the small task of rust and paint

Now the big question: Will it keep the Lenses clean or will you be ahead of your self and wipe them clean way before they collect any road Gunk?
