Use a uno wiper and motor but you will have to bolt it through the panel below your window! but no welding!

then get someone who can weld to weld the Tpiece up for you

i wouldnt stick no skanky uno motor any where near my car but i suppose thats personal preference

or buy a single wiper conversion kit. Comes with new rotating arms so you keep your motor and no welding

just a huge bill for what is really just a simple piece of metal

take the middle t piece off, cut about 8mm of metal out of the long bit of it and cut the part of it that normally goes to the drivers wiper off completely

weld it back together and refit

yup im using a late 306 plastic smooth arm (rear) and 19" bosch blade

i find bosch blades are shite tho cos they die within 1 or 2 months, gonna try another brand in the near future i think

std halfords blades dont fit the pug arm either which is annoying

on a side note even tho everyone seems to think the smooth plastic arms were only fitted to early 306's i was told by the pug dealer the smooth plastic arms are only used on the later ones and also on newer pugs like teh 307

Hi. just one point to note. i had a single wiper on my astra GTE with centre park. i got stopped 4 times in one day for it! centre park looks the biz but the law dont like it. oh, btw, the arms inside the bulkhead are gonna b a tight fit but you can avoid fouling with a bit of adjustment.
