This is the one that is on my 63 B that I have owned since 1973. Stoddard and others sell a nice repro:

63T6B uses the same one as C. Mis marked as for T5B in this ad but is correct for T6B and C: http://www.sierramadrecollection.com/35 ... 18882.html

Agree w/Doug. '63 Bs and Cs both use the 1961 VW teardrop nozzle.

While on this subject, regardless of year, which nozzle provided the best distribution of fluid to the windshield? Anyone test these for comparison purposes?

Good question, Glen. I rarely use mine. I'd guess the best squirt would be if you had an electric rather than a foot pump.

Not test Glen but I think it would be hard to get a better spray pattern than the C type as they have 2 spray jets from each Nozzle resulting in 4 streams of fluid to the windshield.
