Windshield washer nozzle
« on: November 15, 2021, 03:48:34 PM »
Looking for one (1) windshield washer nozzle for my Darrin. Did any other marques use the same nozzle?  From the replies I guess it is far to think no one knows where a replacement for my missing nozzle can be found.

bmcnut, It may be that not all Darrins came with windshield washer nozzles. I have a low production number Darrin and there is no sign that it ever had a washer unit. Is there an obvious place for one on your car? What number is your Darrin? The 324 in my handle refers to the Olds V8 that currently resides in the engine compartment. My serial number is 1003 Steve

Hi Steve,

The car has awindshield  washer system, one nozzle is on the car in the proper place. I need one to complete the washer assembly.

Yes Terry, I am saying that my wiper bezels have no holes in them or anywhere else on the cowl. I may be wrong but my theory is that several of the early production cars had no provision for washer units. A check with owners of early cars might corroborate this. Just my 2 cents. Steve

I too could use a pair of nozzles. Also a diagram of the balance of the wash assemblies.   I believe there is a

According to the Kaiser-Willys Sales Corporation Trade Letters I have in hand on the ordering information for the Darrin, windshield washer was not a factory-installed accessory.  According to the Kaiser-Darrin parts book from the factory issued May 1954, only the following items were available as dealer installed accessories for the car:

Heater/Air Conditioner
Wire Wheels
Safety Belt
Exhaust Deflector

Why don't you ask the Darrin Registry Manager or Lee Abrams about this?
