OK, done a quick search but not found the answer.
I recently fitted the new Leven Wiper/Washer kit which I have to say looks great. Problem is afterwards I noticed that one of the plastic nipples which you fit the tubing to has split - so it's leaning over (and leaking). Question - it looks like these little plastic nipples push into a rubber grommet-type thing in the bulkhead, but I'm not sure. They are like a double-ended male connector? Can anybody confirm this and if replacement nipples are available?

Thanks.

(tried on Chim site but not much response)

I got some from TMS at Melton, they are from memory about a pound each. They will post stuff out (they have to me even though I'm only 20 miles away)
When you replace them you must be very careful not to let the hose coming from underneath fall back into the space under the scuttle as it is a b----d of a job to retrieve the pipe (it is on the Griff anyway).

Thanks misterT. It's the same set-up on Chims. I'm struggling to imagine the design set-up with the flexible tubing coming up to meet the mesh scuttle and how it fits to the "grommet" (if there is one). Then it looks like there is a tiny double ended nipple which connects to the wiper tubing. I'll give TMS a call later, I've had stuff from them before.
