Put me down for a pair too please
Just a quick question about installation, is it just a case of pulling the pipes off the bottom of the nozzle and popping the nozzle out of the bonnet and then pushing the new ones through the holes and connecting the pipes again? Any tricks or traps?

Just found the answer to my question from the miata.net thread:
Thanks Andrew for the link

Oh God, this thread has gone banana's... and here i was thinking i would have something a little different. lol
They work great, they tend to hit a little high standing still, so at 100kmh they are perfect.
Install is easy, i found the tube a little shorter than the standard, but its no problem..

How well do they work on the freeway at 100kph?

I changed the tubing on my washer jets and broke almost every one of the elbow and T joiners They were really brittle on my 1994.

That happened on my NA too. MX5Plus had some spares, but you could just use tube and T joiners from anywhere (aquarium shop, hobby shop).

I picked up some joiners from my favourite car parts place. I think I ended up using fuel hose joiners. Only a dollar or so each.
