Default wiper fluid

I was adjusting the wipers and came across this apparently this isnt the spray nozzle like most cars but a broken elbow that goes to the rubber hoses in the wiper blades. Anyone know where to get a couple new ones and a wiper fluid float level sensor? I guess it'll show fluid plugged in as my car doesn't show low fluid. I seen on someone elses corvette photo that it is the wiper fluid level plug but the sensor is broke off. Dont mind the drivers side elbow being backwards i had to redo some of the plumbing as the previous owner had it disconnected under the cowl. The drivers side functions but as you can see the passenger doesnt due to the broken elbow. Spray nozzles would've been nice.

You could try Dino's Corvette Salvage ; I got a used drivers foot rest from him that was in good condition.

Thanks ill try them or mark at vette nuts. They need to not be as sunfaded and brittle as the factory elbows. Found a new washer fluid sensor for 23$ on amazon.

GM Genuine Parts D6332E Windshield Washer Fluid Level Sensor, 3.3 in

Geeze two of the corvette salvage yards one wants 35$ for one elbow with the rubber boot and the other sells the whole cowl wiper assembly. Anyone know where to get 2 4mm elbows and a Y plastic t fitting similar to the ones pictured? Amazon has a universal wiper hose kit for 7$ includes hose and i believe one plastic Y as pictured that i need. I just cant find two 4mm elbows. Autozone and advance have maybe one in the 6$ box of universal vacuum T boxes. I may just use a standard T and not tuck it under the wiper arm?
