Topic: 1965 to 1973 Windshield Washer Nozzles

[Anghelrestorations]

Just put together a quick guide on the windshield washer nozzles since I had a pile of these laying around.  If anyone sees anything missing or thinks we should add something let me know.

Need to amend 67 single nozzle is silver . Late 67 went to double nozzle with dark finish . I don't think it bk oxide but something else.

Bob...your sure on the 67 nozzles these were always zinc?  Not my expertise in that year but I know it is yours. 
For the double nozzle 68 style I was not 100% sure on the finish but seems to be a grey finish.  Dont think its a phosphate finish either.  Had trouble narrowing down what that is exactly.

I agree with Bob the early 67 should be single and zinc.
Thanks Marcus nice work!

Ok, good feedback.  I will work on an update.  I could use a good photo of a 67 installed with the zinc finish to replace what I have in there now....if anyone has anything let me know.

Carlite65 and JohnRB I will add your suggestions in a possible future write up.  Always looking for ideas.

Yes single nozzle typically zinc. I am not sure what the finish on 2 nozzle which started in later 67 production(at least at  SJ) is called. The dark finish reminds of the dark finish Seen sometimes on 68 marker light retainer bracket. I was told it was a common military grade finish but can't confirm. In the proper light it has kind of a dark rainbow effect like zinc dichromate gives off. Easier to see on a wider piece like the 68 mentioned part. I have had a number of NOS late 67 /68 double nozzle ones . The fresh plating on a NOS one makes it easier to understand. If you will be at Florida MCA show I believe a blue 67 GT500 entered will have some NOS ones. I too have plated black oxide to try and mimick finish closer. Thanks for doing the article.

Based purely on that description, I wonder if that might be an S42 finish - "cadmium plate (black)". Which would be a regular cadmium plating with a black dichromate conversion instead of the more common yellow dichromate. I think.

The originals from my vehicle are made of brass or copper and had a charcoal gray color. However, unlike Bob's Shelby, the fasteners were P&O when I removed them. It appears the head on Bob's picture is 5/16"  AMK supplies the three fasteners for the washer/tee in P&O with 1/4" hex head screws.
