I must admit got a bit tired of the standard TVR screen washer arrangement, so I made some brackets to use two standard jets instead, mounted to they are pretty much invisible. While I can understand the purpose of the spray hose arrangement on an open-top car, it does not make sense to me in the Cerbera, and IMHO looks a bit clumsy.

The brackets are 3D printed and the design can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4901273 They should be printed with plastics suitable for outdoors applications, like ASA. (For those who do not have a friend with a 3D-printer, they may be available to the public in various ways, even some libraries may have them. There are also commercial services that can make prints at reasonable prices.)

I have made some various lengths and some wedge pieces, so it should be possible to find a good mounting position wherever you may decide to mount them. I used generic spray jets with a 'fan' pattern, but other types would work too.

This is how I mounted them against the panel the hides the windscreen wiper arrangement:

Interesting idea. I got some clip on ones from Ebay that clip onto the wiper arm that work really well.

I noticed the images after uploading became a bit rubbish; one really cannot see the jets. I've tweaked them so the jets are now visible. The point remains, the jets are really entirely not noticeable in practice, and as a bonus, you do not have to fiddle with the tubing when you need to remove the cover between the bonnet and windscreen.
