Does anybody know of a source for the dual jet single nozzle washer for the Longbridge BN4?

thanks,

Not that I have heard of, but would be interested to know of an alternative. Maybe from another car of similar vintage. Heres a pic for those not sure of what a correct one is.

I would also be very interested in learning what other Brit car of the period used this dual jet single nozzle. We all know DMH certainly did not have this created solely for the Longbridge.

Morris Minor and MGB-GT use a twin washer jet. Moss # 361-250. Not exact, but will probably suit the single hole in the shroud.

That's a lot better than having the hole in the shroud until the real thing comes along. Thanks!

You are correct- this is the nozzle original for 100/6 Longbridge (Photo by RANDY FORBES)

- I have stored it (completely stopped by debris) and have substituted it by the - MG GT 361-250 DOUBLE Jet nozzle US$4+/- - more practical and find on ebay
also Ahead4Healey have one in catalog WS4475 that NOW have also the glass bottle and support

A word of warning. While I have the dash removed from the '77 to replace the
wiring harness it was suggested that I should replace the washer jets to avoid
potential leaks. I ordered new ones, Moss 361-240. The old tubing wouldn't
pull off of the first jet that I was working on so I just cut it off at the barb
and proceded to loosen the nut. The bit of tubing managed to jam up the nut so
it would not come off or go back up on the threads. No sweat! I'll just dig out
the old Dremel tool and cut it right off. As easily done as said.

Went to install the new one and made a hideous discovery. The threaded
body of the nozzle, i.e., the part that goes through the scuttle, is about 2/3
the diameter of the original. There is no way that you could hope to get a good
water-tight seal. Just got off of the phone with Moss. The best that I can do
is to buy the 361-250 Jet Ass'y that's used on the GT. It has the larger
diameter. Problem is that it has two nozzles. I suppose that I can justify it
by saying that I have three wiper blades.

In the meantime I'll go and steal one from the BfromHades and just make
some new sealing gaskets for the old ones. Caveat emptor.
