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?
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

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?
