When using the std nova set up I extended the wiper end by 8mm and that gave me the sweep required, if that makes sense

So... either lengthen A or shorten B...

I've got the othe link bar that ran from spindle to spindle so I'll chop that down and try that 1st as that'll be easier than try to shorten the other bit.
Arches are being done tomorrow :cool:
loving the dash
Lengthening A will just push the wiper further over on it's sweep, rather than making it wider, ie. it will clear the left half of the screen and not the right, to make it longer you want to lengthen the piece A attaches to which is attached to the motor, if it gets confusing make a cardboard mock up and play around with it til you get the idea? If you make it to scale you could even get the perfect lengths figured out :DQuote:

Cardboard mock up sounds good!
Had a fun day today! Didn't get as much done as I'd anticipated but really pleased with what we've done. I didn't realize how much work was actually involved to do the job. There's a lot of measuring, thinking, cutting, thinking, measuring, thinking, cutting, thinking etc.
There's at least another 2 full days of work left but the other side will *hopefully* be easier now we know how we're gonna do it.
BIG thanks to Michael! Fantastic work as always, he deserves full credit. So here we go....
Ride height at start of the day and very little travel left in the shock...

I originally planned on cutting out the whole inner arch and raising the new inner arch height at least an inch. After looking at it again it doesn't need it. Taking out what we have and tubbing this section will give more than enough clearance all round.
Next up we cut in half a piece of around 5mm thick tubing to use as the upright of the turret. As I aim to run it low, one of the downsides of the stock positions is the damper travel is nearly all but taken away so can easily bottom out. By raising the top mounting point it counteracts this. I wanted to gain around 2 inches. Conveniently, 60mm (just over 2 inches) puts it perfectly in line where the new inner arch would run. :D

Shock then positioned up and bottom shock mount moved over...

Another piece of thick plate was then used to complete the top...
