Been to vauxhall today but no luck so far so will try here.
These were found on early mk1s here and in Europe for the use of headlamp washers.
If you have any or info of where some maybe please let me know.

Novasport has a overider/headlamp wash kit stored away for use one day, he will have some information;)

He'll never part with it though:d

I was aware he had a set. The long term project was headlight washers but most of the mk1 kit is nls.

Help me nova experts are there any anywhere? Vauxhall have now told me no dealer has any stock so they must all be in garages, sheds and lofts waiting to be sold!!

I dropped lucky and got a new set from a dealer that had been hoarding stock for 30-40 years.
Apart from mine I have only seen two other sets which were both on Ebay, one was on a black 5 door for sale in Manchester and the other just fitted to a bumper.
They did a spotlight over-rider as well, I also have a set or two of them.

What's the difference with the spotlight overiders? Is it the width or just minus the washer jet?

Maybe, one day. If they turn out anything close to Mk1/Mk2 Escort bits then they will be a good investment.

The spotlight over-riders are narrower and just have a threaded section to bolt the spots into. Thought about using a set on the Sport and fitting my new Lucas 20-20's ;)
