I need to replace the tubing from the Wiper motor to the wheel boxes. The tubing looks like standard stuff, but I can't figure out where to get the odd size tube nut. It appears to be metric, M15x1 as near as I can tell. Anyone have any experience with this?

This one?

No idea what size but would not be metric. I would expect it to be a purpose made item, not a stock nut but sorry, no idea what thread.
 
Well the photo didn't show on my computer, but if the question is about the collet that holds the end of the cable track in the motor case the thread is 27 NPT.
 
Oh well... something about plans, mice, gummed up stuff. Anyway for what it's worth I noticed two types of fittings in my box of spares. The older ( I presume) was aluminum and showed some thread damage. The other is steel and has a flat side allowing it to fit in a tighter slot on the wiper body. Both connect the same way to the cable and sleeve. What is wrong with yours that you need to repair this obscure part?
