I use the triple jets from GW. I like them. It needs fine adjustment for
the spray angle using a pin needle to turn the little jet balls, not
turning the whole jet. If someone in here swaps the wiper jet, be extra
careful NOT to drop the hoses in the nose cavity... It will be a pain to
fetch them out.
