Chasing a couple of good passenger side wiper arms. Was trying to get some new but couldn't find ones that would suit.
Need passenger side ones as I have changed the position on the drivers side.

Cheers

Hey jb
I did a wiper set up on a blokes hot rod a few years ago i used 6mm stainless rod threaded both ends and screwed the end of a gas strut onto it.
Then i screwed the threaded ball (m8) onto the wiper bush.
Worked awesome no slop and adjustable.
Maybe keep the bushed end onto the wiper motor and weld the rod onto that keeps it low profile and the bellcrank that way.

Thanks Pete,

Not the ones I am after... The stainless arms that the blades attach to.
I will need to shorten one slightly.
Have been trying to look for new ones complete with no luck so far. Thought someone may know where to get some.

Cheers

Thanks Jim, I will take 1 off you (passenger side) so then I can get the car a Roadworthy cert.
Am going to try and get it registered in Dec to take it to the upholsterer and any other small jobs that need doing... A/C gas, dyno tune and chip etc.
I will also try and get 2 new ones off the site that you suggested Pete with the blades and do a comparison for others here on the site if they need some new ones.
Send me a pm Jim and tell me what you want for them, I will pop some money into your account and give you an address to send it to.
Thanks guys.

Cheers
