Re: SER1 washer dilema

Don't fit washer jets at all. Instead run flexible hoses from the washer 
pump and secure these to the wipers with cable ties. Prick a couple of holes 
in the hose and block the end and you get water exactly where you want it. 
This is common practice on rally cars and has worked really well on all of 
my off roaders to date.
