I have removed the headlight washer system on my 6.9 and have the chromed plugs in these sections where the nozzles would of been. Will be interesting to see what they are worth new, if still available.


What have you got in the way of nozzles PB?

Both of mine are chrome, one side is a single hole, other side has two.

Please post what you find out.

That's phenomenal, like new.  Looking forward to seeing the front when it's done.  Nice work Pat.

BTW, that pic was bugging me though - the lines through it ruin it so I'm posting the link to the full scale pic.  Looks awsome. 8)

Still, it would be cheaper than new and it's probably better than new. 8)

short upper rear bumpers yes, but not the long ones...dad is ordering from the overseas connection for those.
if you want some shorties, just let us know when you want to swing by.
except next saturday, still at a course in adelaide at that time!

Hi Pat, those brackets that are plated, are you going to paint them black or leave them? 

I've only seen them black (or rusted) and I've got one decent rust free set of everything I've been building up for the 350.

These people also reanodise aluminium trim, for the pieces above the headlights and indicators i was quoted 200. This will be done as i refuse to reinstall my new headlights and indicators with sand blasted trim above them :P

I assume for that price they are going to remove the annodising, polish, and re-anodise - correct ?
