Washer nozzles

[VWScott]

Ok so I'm in the process of working out all the niggles on my recently purchased '76 '02. I'm at the process of addressing the washer wiper system. i'm happy to say the electrics are all in good nick. however, there is the washer nozzle issue! Now before you say make sure the whole that is the issue,yes I've gone through it and without the nozzles everything is good. i removed nozzles from the car,soaked them overnight in vinegar,ran through my ultrasonic and finally attempted to clean with my welding tip cleaners. Well one is ok but the other is just not playing nicely.Sadly I must report that 
I broke off a tip cleaner in that troublesome git. It has me thinking is there an alternative to these crazy nozzles? or am I stuck with the original design? They don't seem readily available either and the cost is well a bit spendy. Any thoughts???

I'd post a want-to-buy ad for a good used one, or possibly a pair of them, depending on price.  There should be plenty of them out there.  They're tiny, so shipping will be inexpensive.

I've got an extra zinc plated one.  Won't be able to send out until mid next week, but your welcome to it for the price of a usps flaterate box.  $8.50 I think..

Thks for the offer AceAndrew,I just posted on WTB forum for a pair.

For future reference...a better tool to ream out plugged nozzles is a short length of MIG wire.  It's softer and more flexible than a small drill bit or welding tip cleaner, and is less likely to break off in the nozzle as it tries to curve around the nozzle's output end...
