The search function doesn't seem to be helping much so does anyone know where you can get the rigid black tube for the washers from? I don't need it curved to fit or anything, just a couple of straight lengths.

I could use the same info but need the tube to be flexible where it bends and connects to the wiper nipple. All I can find is clear 3mm tubing

I have the flexible tubing in silicone and either black or blue. PM with the length you need and I'll work out a price.

Fiat Coupe's and Alfa GTV's & Spiders use pretty much what you're after although I haven't tried to get it over the nipple yet. Local breakers yard = FOC. Fiat/Alfa dealer = abismal customer service and inability to find the part on the computer system... rolleyes

iirc: Gardena stuff has a larger bore so less likely to push the nipple in !!! Ooo err missus biggrin

If you find the bore is slightly to small either warm up pipe with heater gun or really hot water in mug.. put the end in the water for 20 seconds it will fit & when it cools down will be water tight.. Cheers stuart g (GOLDIE)

I'm after the rigid pipe guys, not the flexible - presumably the Gardena is flexible from the above? I've got plenty of flexible and am paranoid about pushing my nipples in, hence wanting some of the rigid to do something else to prevent this.

Any ideas on rigid? scratchchin
