Joking aside i'm sure now i've thought about it that the Mk1s used the same screen wash pump as the Mk2s so it should be possible to find a replacement.
Something i've done on my coupé is to add "mist jets" or "fan jets" as they are also called. For about £7 you get a pair of brand new (branded with another manufacturers name) pair of jets that sit perfectly in the original holes and give a nice fan shaped mist of water in a line about 3-4" above the wiper blades. This means using less washer fluid to get the screen clean and it cleans much more effectively. It also reduces the water that drips in on the window switches if you happen to have your window open while using the washers. This is them :

They seem to be a better shape on the bonnet as well, more like they're "meant to be there" than the OE grey blobs if you see what i mean? They also work out about half the price Rimmers want just for a pair of jets without postage!
Also a useful tip to clean the washer bottle and the washer system is to add a pint of white vinegarto the washer bottle, gets rid of limescale, improves delivery of fluid and is great for cleaning glass anyway!
