Just sorting the Griff for the oncoming season and I have got a few parts that I need, maybe someone can give me the part numbers and or suppliers where I can buy the items.

First item is a washer pipe union (photo included)

Second item is an air filter its for a griff 500 (serpentine)

Last item is a pair of wiper blades, I know this has been covered recently however the ones fitted to the car work fine and I just want to repleace like for like but do not know what make or who supplies them, I am not even sure if they are originals, do the jets come already attached or is that a seperate item as I want replace both? I have also included a photo.







Thanks in advance

Wiper blades look like the Wipex ones I have on mine. They're not standard but do a better job than the originals.

Back in 2005 I had some from TMS in Melton but they arent around anymore but the part number on the invoice is M0348 and I've just found this on Racetech direct. If I remember correctly there should be a rubber grommet go around the centre of the connector that sits in the hole in the bulkhead and supports the connector.

I should just add whatever you do don't let the washer pipe drop into the void below, its a major job to retrieve....

Does anyone do a metal upgrade of these washer pipe unions? Mine is currently bodged together and I don't fancy a dash off job to fix it only to put a breakable plastic item in there again (or are you saying that they can be pulled out from above?)

My passenger side one had already fallen into the void so was a real b to retrieve. I had to take out the dash and cut an access hole in the bulkhead, then after re-threading the pipe thro the scuttle I rivetted a cover plate back over the hole.

The drivers side with a bit of careful pulling and wobbling from side to side came out with the pipe attached so all I had to do was pull out the old connector, trim the tube so the 'fir tree' bit of the new connector went into 'new' unstretched pipe and then settled it back down into the rubber grommet.

That was all back in 2005 not had any trouble with either of them since.

I've never looked out for metal connectors so can't answer that one.
