Wiper mounted washer fluid nozzles (for Trufiber Venom hood)

[Bird1606]

I put the trufiber venom (GT500KR hood) on my 07 GT/CS when I did my GT500 conversion in March. The hood doesn't have holes cut out for washer fluid nozzles, o I've been running without washer fluid for a while. That was fine while I lived in Texas, but now that I'm in Newport, Rhode Island and winter is coming I'm worried I may need it for snow and ice conditions. Does anyone know if someone sells wiper mounted washer fluid nozzles? My google search is not yeilding the results I want. If not, does anyone with the venom hood have any workaround to get washer fluid nozzles working?

I used a single squirter from a Volvo on my buddy's Shelby...
I placed it on the cawl plastic covers (see picture).
Water comes out as a V, so one is sufficient.
You'll have to extend the hoze with the one piece that connect the OEM squirters together.
AutoZone and the likes, carry plastic coupler tubes to do that connection.
Easy mod.

Word of advise,

Get good washer fluid and make sure you run it through the lines. Not sure about TX but when I was in FL I put in fluid and it froze up north.

Which Volvo model did that come from? That is a great idea. I know what you are saying about getting hosed? $60 for nothing!

Being a custom shop owner, I always keep gadgets and gizmos because I know that I'll use them soon or later.
If memory serves me well, it's off a 850 Volvo from the mid/late 90s...
But any single V sprayer will work.
Go to a bone yard and pick one up. Mostly European cars have those.
It's a $5 mod.

I looked everywhere in my computer for this write up I posted over a year ago. You can also see it on page 48 of the GT500 conversion thread . Its a great setup for people who are running with an aftermarket hood and don't want to drill in the new hood to mount the ugly squirter nozzles, and the nozzle from Ford seems to work the best. Great spray and an OEM part, off of the rear of an Explorer.

Part# F87Z17603AA

Install Procedure
1. Locate washer hose under the hood.
2. Remove both wiper arms.
3. Remove the hood cowl by simply lifting off.
4. Add a 1/8" x 1/8" x 3/16" T fitting to the supply line. (3/16" side goes to reservoir side and the 1/8" will go to the wiper arm side)
5. Run the new 1/8" hose from the driver side wiper attachment down through the wiper arm hole in the cowl and to the 1/8" end of the 'T'. Repeat for Passenger side.
6. Put everything back on except the wiper arms.
7. Fish the hoses through the spring of the backside of the wiper arms, fill the casting pocket of the back side of the wiper arms with silicone. Push the hose into the silicone filled pocket and secure with a zip tie until dry.
8. Reattach the wiper arms.
9. Slip nozzles onto the wiper arm and cut hose to length and attach.

You can get these parts from most auto supply houses like Pep Boys, Autozone, etc.

Funny, I was gonna do the xplorer deal on my friend's Shelby and while I was looking for some hardware, I saw the Volvo gizmo so I figured I'd save time and money.
I do like the xplorer set-up though...
