Headlight washer hose connector

MissMoppet · 3rd August 2022, 16:22

I've traced my washer bottle leak to the headlight washer pump - outlet broken but cheap replacement on order - but I'm stuck over the hose connector L shaped (below). Rimmers don't list it. I can't work out how on earth it got broken, but there you go. I'm tempted to just block it off as I'm not sure it ever worked and seems a pretty pointless accessory anyway. Any ideas gratefully received.

Is this a M1 headlight washer hose, headlight nozzle connector?

Mine was damaged in a similar way. I also tried to find a replacement connector without success but managed to source a set in good condition.

I kept the damaged set (somewhere!) so could carefully remove a connector and send it to you if you want.

Obviously you'll need to very carefully cut through and remove the old hose clip and fit a new one.

That's very kind but I think I'm going to buy a length of rubber hose and just cut a length to fit + some Jubilee clips. Till someone tells me otherwise I don't see why that shouldn't work. Just need to find the dia.
