985cc Turbocharged Nova Sprint Car

I shall be there so may say hi if I see you about.

RE the wiper I think for ease of installation an Uno one would be best. Can't remember the weight but you will be able to find that pic I sent of one on the scales somewhere.

I had a Toyota Aygo (107 / C1) rear one out the other day which was very light and secures on just one mounting hole. Sadly it quickly sold before I thought to weigh it.

I keep on thinking about rear wiper motors, and the Aygo one is interesting, thanks.

I suppose the main thing to work out will be the angle of the screen. Rear screens tend to be nearer to vertical, whereas front screens are more angled.

I can't picture an Aygo/C1/C1 screen without a bit of Google research, but it will definitely be worth looking at. I'm planning to get a new wiring loom made up soon, so I need to get all the electrical components finalised beforehand.

i think you should be looking at [this] for a wiper motor......

Good idea, I would worry that the angle of sweep might not be enough though!

Its not like you need to pass an mot, just clear a decent enough field of vision.

There's lots of them on EBAY, would be interesting to find out what they weigh in at.

Disappointed. Was hoping this was an update saying the car will be racing at Gurston tomorrow.

Craig.

A mate of mine from Salisbury is looking for some ABS rings to suit his TVR race car (not TVR items!!).

I know you're a bit of a breakers yard expert, would you mind if I send you details of what he's after? What's the best way to contact you? Thanks.

Thanks Craig, I have sent a message now.

Do you have to fit a wiper to it? I would have thought that Rain-X would be sufficient? I've never had to use the wiper when I've treated my screen. It's just a case of remembering to keep it treated!

Yes, the regs require a working wiper arm/motor.

In practice of course it never gets used for short-distance stuff like a hillclimb, Rain-X is fine.
