    FWIW I went ahead and bought the $20 JC Whitney version, and although it is clearly lacking OEM sort of quality, it works ok.

    The nozzles were useless and I could not rig up a way to use them. So, I went to the local Jeep dealer and ordered a set of mid-90's TJ nozzles. Their trajectory is about 2 inches lower than I would like, but not bad.

    In the end I spent ~$5 less than I would have spent through Herm... Moral of the story: if you don't have a decent bone yard around, buy Herm's kit.

    I used a remote pump from a Chevy blazer and a Rubbermaid lemonade bottle it works great and holds more fluid than the original. Less than $10 and i use it every day.

    Most nozzles can be aimed. I used a large straight pin, stuck it in the nozzle opening and aimed it where I wanted it.
