    After buying our Chamois , while looking through the bits that came with her,it was obvious that the original Imp scuttle items sealing to bodywork could be improved on so first thought was to improve wiper stem sealing so using o rings in my normal toolmaking job it was obvious that incorporating them in design was a must.
    Now probably something like 500 cars have them so it's been a good move making them
    Knowing that the Imp has a rather unique washer jet fixing system in as much as you cannot get to the rear of the off side washer due to heater box being in the way ,and the fact that you cannot get new washer jets of Imp design now, the idea of using stainless steel housings with modern now available new jets came into being.
    All original clips are used in this kit and obviously the o ring sealing is so much better than the fifty year old specimens we see on our cars (well past their sell by date)

    There are a number of designs available or should you need something a bit different l can always make something to order.
    The red\blue\silver &black jets are just being tried out to see if they are suitable for the Imps , but the others are already proving to do the work .
    Double jet chrome Could be fitted upside down , is there a correct way up for them being fitted to an Imp , rather than fitted in bonnet?
    Single jet chrome
    Double jet plastic
    These all have individually adjustable jets ,while the coloured ones just provide a fishtail shaped spray , probably putting more water on screen , but as l say ,they're being trialed ,just awaiting results before adding to the range, if usable.

    Please contact me if you want more information.
