Title: Washer jets and hoses, etc.
Post by: Sluggo on June 17, 2011, 12:17:53 AM

I ordered a hose kit for my washer jets. It was a a Dennis Carpenter kit.


The hose sizes and the tee are no where near the originals.


I also ordered the washer jets from NPD. They listed a set specific for 69 and state they are zinc dichromate. When I inspected them, they were zinc plated and had the jet end crimped like a 70.


Where can I get correct jets, tee and hoses?


My original jets and hoses are actually in good shape. The jets need to be replated and would then be perfect. My tee is broken.


Am I better off replating the original jets?


I also got the washer bottle from NPD. It's a Daniel Carpenter repro. It's actually quite nice. Looks pretty close to the original from memory. I'll compare it to the real deal tomorrow.
The original is in nice shape but yellowed and the lanyard is broken. The pump still operates. I'll put these parts away for safe keeping.

Have a look at Dead Nuts On, they have the hoses and jets all correct.

I spent an hour in the garage cleaning my originals up. I think I got them to the point where they won't look too shabby. Now to get the hoses.


I did not see a tee on deadnuts. Did I miss something?

Yours are looking good, should replate well.

I've only seen the jets and hoses at Dead Nuts On

Jack at Dead Nuts On has the washer hose kits, I would think he'd have the Ts as well, he even makes the hose sets for the '65-'66s that are just as his name implies "dead nuts on" Jack is GREAT to deal with as well!!!
