Neat job Kevin, I'll have to find you at Chatsworth and have a look at the install if you're not too busy! and also get a look at the Leven (FUBAR/jackwibble) and CT (ridds/tonywilliams) versions and the huyundaı ones from scotty_d. Really looking forward to my first Chatsworth smile
Also look at my RaceProved ones, Tams will be on the left hand side as you enter

I'd actually say Kevin's are better due to the new designs only spraying in front of the wiper.

At least remote washer jets spray the whole screen. wink Might have a rethink on mine. Anyone want some cheap wiper blade jets? laugh

Are you sure you are from Yorkshire? Surely they use more water and washer fluid. Surely you are monitoring your water meter?

A couple of tips if anyone is thinking of copying the way I have converted my washers jet (apart from paying me copyright fees)
1. When drilling the holes, make sure you take into account of where the nut goes underneath.
2. Put some masking tape over the area you are drilling to help stop the drill going where it wants.
3. Also think about where your wiper arms will be when water is sprayed.

I've just sat in rainy traffic for a while watching how terribly the wiper mounted tubes work and cause the (*already terrible) wiper blades to work even slower, so dug up this thread to make sure I actually do this over the winter break

All the photos had broken (thanks to Photo Bucket) so I pinged Kev to ask for a picture of his installation and here it is for reference - thanks Kev clap
