Title: Hey Rich, cool windshield washer nozzles..
Post by: JPotter57 on 2012-10-20 15:48
Check these out...Not a great looking set, but they are out there.   These are off of a 1955 mercury, have almost the same angle as our Ford, will work.  Dad bought a good looking set of these from the local Pull-A-part for his 57 Fairlane.  Chrome nice everything.  I took pictures of them, but apparently, they got deleted from my phone..  I found these on ebay.  The nozzles on these are not the same, these look like screws that have been drilled.  Dad's are regular nozzles, look like tiny zerk fittings or something, very trick. plus, they look stock.  Check them out, maybe an idea for later...
Here is the ebay auction listing, he has a lot of pictures of these.

I just re-read the ad.  This car came without the optional washer package, so they have block off screws.  Apparently, all 55 Mercs came with these bezels with the squirters made into them.  Cool to know.

Those would be cool as a replacement for our bezels...except our bezels have the little tab that keeps the under-the-cowl components from rotating. I like the idea of the nozel in the bezel though, maybe ours could be reworked to add them.
