This page will show you the way to remove the firewall without grinding it to bits, also shows where all the welds are that hold it in place.

Single

Sorry mate!

[Stuart]

Just fit two motors.....?

[novadose2009]

could u do that? use 2 single wipers 2 make a normal duel wiper?

[16v Nova Kev]

aye but they would end up out of sync. it would be funny to see tho.

[novadose2009]

does anyone no if i can still have duel wipers witout having 2 mount the motor 2 the bulkhead?

if not the citroen zx single wiper seems 2 be the best idea

[16v Nova Kev]

why dont you just cut some of the bulkhead away and keep the part the wiper motor bolts onto.

[novadose2009]

wanna take it all out and i no the zx wiper bolts 2 the scuttle so itl be out of the way

[Stuart]

Utter final warning about the text typing...

Cant find the picture to show how but you can keep the original wiper linkage but move the motor to inside the car (Behind where the glove box is) with the crank arm of the motor protuding into the engine bay underneath the skuttle trim - then all you see is the 3 bolts holding the motor and the crank arm - simples

Just done a quick sketch on paint circled in red
