Washer squiters

[SEVNT 9]

Not really happy with the plastic newer ones offered. I bought some and when attaching the rubber hose, the hose kinks (aftermarket junk). I also don't really want to run a screw into the cowl and provide a point of a potential "leak"

I'm contemplating fabricate/making my own using copper tube/plate and solder. Im surprised no one has re-popped the metal ones yet.

Is anyone aware of any other GM model squiters that can be adapted to fit the 78-81? models?

Thanks in advance

Well that worked out WAY better than anticipated!!!

3/16" nickle/copper brake line, 1/2" EMT conduit strap cut down, flux + plumbing solder.

Used a drill bit on its side with a hammer to deepen the center channel on the conduit strap, soldered into place. Used a horseshoe shaped peice of welding wire in on end then pinched in a vice to create the nozzles.

Worked out perfectly!!!

Did you have nothing to start with or model against? Your solution looks a lot like what my 1979 Malibu wagon had; nice job. My 1986 Monte Carlo has plastic squirters.

I once replaced the driver's side with a genuine GM NOS replacement back when I worked at a GM dealer but it corroded pretty bad and only had a portion of it to use as a guide.

I do have the original passenger side still intact but I removed the HVAC, and installed a cheapo cowl extension so it won't work, but more reason to fabricate my own. It was WAY easier than I thought. I didn't expect the solder to stick to the EMT strap, considered possibly needing a copper style strap if was the case, but it worked too good on the first go, so I thought I'd share if anyone else needed the info.
