Right I'm putting new windscreen washer one way valves in as the old ones mysteriously stopped working when I had my windscreen replaced and new wiper mesh grill! Found that the connections had dropped down and no way of retrieval so managed to hook the washer pipe and pull it through the spindle hole. I now have to feed something from the other washer valve hole .. The new pipe us too rigid so was going to attach something to the pipe which is flexible enough to push through so I can hook it and join it up with a 3way pipe

Any suggestions?

Single strand of electrical cable I always find useful for threading and fairly flexible depending upon the cable dia. 1mm will be very flexible, 2.5mm less so. I have loads of bits knocking around if you need some.

Done it!!! Amazing!! Now have both wipers squirting water!! The Christmas tree lights pushed thru the holes were a godsend to see what was going on and where to catch the cable so I could attach the washer pipe!!


Thanks Paul for the idea of the cable it worked!!!
