Default Windshield Washer Connector Nipple at Cowl to Wiper

Hey everyone, in my 2006 XJR I just discovered that the driver's side washer connector for the wiper hose split in half.
Where can I buy a replacement or are there any creative alternatives?

There’s got to be a better way... but I bought the whole wiper arm to get that connector. It’s not sold separately by Jaguar.

Do you mean the one on the wiper itself? If so, somebody on the forum who switched to Bosch blades might have one going

I went to a local hobby shop that sells small aluminum and brass tubing for fuel lines on model airplanes with the broken connector. I bought a 24" piece of tubing in the right diameter for $3. I bent the tubing and then cut the curved section to length.
