Prettying up my Car with a new Bonnet

[Jonathan_Ferguson]

I've got one reply from the three suppliers I contacted, but their new Bonnet doesn't come with Windscreen Washer Jets, the chap insinuated that they're easy to replace. So how do I remove the Washer Jets from my current Bonnet, and is it easier to put 'em into the new one?

Umm.. Bonnet means hood? Thats a weird name for a hood, but does make sense... I honestly do not know how to remove the washer jets. They may be pressed in or something...

One of mine is falling out... I think they just pop in John...

That's Australia speak. They probably think that calling it a hood it wierd. They call exhaust pipe extractors too.

From the underside?

Extractors is just a Header.
What gets me is Australians calling an Axle Housing a Diff Housing, or even refering to it as the 'Diff'. Even I know the Diff Housing is also called the Pinion Housing and is what the drop out 'Third Member'(Americano speak) is.

they pop in from the outside or the top of the hood. taking them out will undoubtedly break them so you should just go pick up a couple new ones. after market stuff fits fine.

No silly, this is a bonnet and I think it would be smashing way to dress up the hood of his car!;p ..

The washer jets have clips on the underside, compress them and push the jets out. The clips are prone to cracking, but most types have the same shape, size hole, so upgrading to later type is doable. A lot of the later ninety cars have 2 jets on each, the some of newer ones have a dispersion spray that covers most of the windshield.

I've never been able to remove them without breaking them. Some have a sleeve that goes into the hood first, then the nozzle snaps in.

Here is how my 85 looks.
