Gazza, Just reminded me about that. If i remember all we need to do is grind the end of the spindle down slightly to stop the cap from hitting.
Regards Brett

Congrats on nearing completion.
Love the colours, looks very clean with less chrome.
I'm sure you will have a great time cruising around in her.

hi,
I am looking to fit a Vn brake booster system into my fc project and was chasing information.
did you mount your booster directly onto the fire wall? And did you have to modify the shaft to work with the brake pedal?
I wonder if using the complete vn pedal assembly would make life easier?
thanks in advance,
Shannon.

Gazza, Call me and i will let you know. Due to the new laws apparently anything partially engineered with larger motors for example will be able to be registered for the time being. You have to show proof of this. If not the new laws will be implemented.pm sent.

Billy,
I used the original base plate and redrilled it so it was horizontal. I think it looks better than leaning downwards. Also allows more space between the engine. If you have the original FB EK arms they all bolt up.
The arm that goes onto the motor itself i extended (raised) it about 10 mm to clear the fire wall. when you mount the motor you will see what i mean.
Regards Brett

Billy,
The arm that is on the wiper motor is held on by a nut. The arm is the same as the commodore. You will need to use the original ek main arms and the small adaptor arm that fits onto the wiper arm.

Hi Brett I have bought a VN wiper motor, I have to change a few things the VN wiper has a larger shaft on it than the EK That's not a problem I can over come that the problem I have is How did you extend the VN wiper motor shaft by 10 mm Thanks BILLY Billy,

Billy,
It was the rotating arm i extended. Where it bends in the middle i cut it and welded in a 10 mm piece of metal. Keep in mind that the length must stay the same. I dont know about the shafts being different. Mine was the same as the EK.

Thanks again Brett
I got the wiper motor sorted ,turns out that the nut on the vn wiper was a little bit bigger than the ek the shafts are the same size so all worked as you said ,I made a new base plate and drilled it to suit all's well there to, The next problem I can see is setting the wipers up so they will park in the correct place as I took the little z shaped arm off before I marked the park position on the shaft. Any suggestion on how to set the wiper blades up correctly.I know I have been a bit of pain in the ass but I wouldn't have got this far without your help.
Thanks BILLY
