    i just replaced the pump for my windshield washers and am very un-impressed, it just shoots a straight stream out to the windshield, has anyone ever done anything to convert to a spray type washer?

    Mine spray a fan pattern.. did you modify yours in some way? Did your clean the nozzels with a drill? The tips come from the factory with a crimped tube that are spray nozzels and unless somebody has messed with it it should spray a fan shaped pattern.
