Rubbish!
Lovin the build so far :D
Some read like :eek:
Turbo rims all the way ;)
cheers.
hoping to get all the wiring done and ticked off the list this weekend.
With no pussy to cater for this weekend I'm determined to check some jobs off the list. I was going to get the wiring done but needed to multi plugs first so went down the scrappy this morning and filled up my toolbox! lol While I was there I picked up a citreon zx wiper linkage and bracket.
I need to get the wiper sorted before I can finish the wiring so I know where things run. Out came the old setup I made and fitted up the new one (motor not yet fitted)

Much better!!
Just had to work out how to mount it so decided on making up some brackets using some box like so...

I put it all back on and tacked the brackets to the bulkhead - brilliant I thought! But no. I couldn't then remove the linkage without having to break the tacks off! lol
I then spent the next 30mins staring at it trying to work out a tidy way of doing it but nothing has immediately come to mind so I walked away, will sleep on it and go back tomorrow - any suggestions?
Is the corsa brake set up done and dusted? What wiper arm are you using? I should be receiving mine in the week so you can always wait to see how i do it lol lol
All i can suggest now (without having it in my hands to actually see) it to try fitting it with nuts and bolts so everything is removable ie not welded.
definatley interested in how this works out, i would go for a bolt on set up though, would'nt fancy welding somthing french to my car LOLlol
Is the linkage just to stiff and cracking the tacks?
The plate has been tacked in. Will get my welder mate to blast all the way round it with his bigger MIG and much more talent! lol I won't chop the pedal to the clutch cable is in place etc just in case. Going to see how it feels before looking to strengthen it anymore.Quote:

I had thought about welding the brackets lower down and using some longer bolts with nuts halfway up the thread but it might be too weak + look gash!

Could you not turn the whole thing round and make up a bracket to bolt it to the front edge? if that makes sense? :confused:Quote:
