Bulkhead removed? What windscreen wiper you use?

[boffer8]

Hi all,

Thinking if removing my bulkhead where the wiper motor mounts and wondering how people then mount and also what motors they use?

If anyone has any info and any pictures relating to this that would be great!! Post them up!!

Cheers

And the standard bar twisted 180deg works fine and retains all speeds and 2 wipers, needs a flap cutting behind the glove box like so

That looks like an ace mod BluePeg. :thumb: The fit of that motor from the inside isn't very OEM though lol!

[blue_peg_16v]

Not seen once glovebox is in lol

Tbf was done when I got the shell not my mod but great idea the saloon will be getting done when I start the rebuild

[boffer8]

That looks exactly what I was thinking of doing but wasn't sure it or quite how to do it, any chance of any more pod and with the linkage in place?

[stuartp]

I made a alloy bracket and its in the original position. The bulk head was all ready cut off when we got the shell but wanted two wiper because its a rally car

Linkage isn't on yet will fit it tomorrow

Here's pic of it did work though tested it before rebuild started

[blue_peg_16v]

Intact just remembered I have refitted it so will get pic in morning for you it's bad when you haven't touched it for that long you forget what you have done lol

[meritlover]

are you going to use it like that? doesnt look like thers much strength in it now.

[blue_peg_16v]

Yup it's fine was on and working was done by previous owner and is plenty strong enough

[meritlover]

good. im glad its tested. theres nothing worse than loosing wipers when its pi$$ing down.

[marc69]

Mine came with a fiat uno single wiper but I wanted two so I fitted a corsa b mecahnism, gets rid of the bits that always wear out on the nova mechanism. It's not pretty but it is for a track car.

Ironically I have since welded another bulkhead in as I fitted a heater etc!

[boffer8]

@blue-peg :- yea pictures inside and out all fitted and unfitted would be great to see how it's done, if not then an AX or Uno motor it is, will need to see if I can hide the bolts that go trough the vents though that's all
