Washer Nozzle & wiper linkage parts 444-544

With the dash off, not that hard of a job, working on the wipers and washers is a whole lot easier.

Looking at the washers, I noticed the little screws that go into the end of the nozzles are missing. I didn't need the dash off to find this but it got me looking. Is there anything unique about these little screws or will any short screw work? New nozzles are about $35. Pretty pricy little screws.

I found the problem with the wiper travel problem on the driver side. The little plate on the spindle that fits on top of the wiper bracket has two little nubs that are suppose to fit into holes in the bracket. The bracket was bent not allowing this plate to be secure and in turn, the whole spindle rotated too far. A little bend to the bracket and all is snug.
I also noticed the little plastic inserts are pretty worn at both the spindle and motor ends of the linkage arms. Any chance of finding replacements?

I would really like to get the wipers working as good as possible. I can't imagine working on them with the dash and all the wires and cables back.
