I though there was two versions of this piece and was hoping to get the longer one rather than modify...

Nes, I believe the only way is to modify mate. Not a hard job for someone like you. A couple of beers a couple more and then done. Regards Brett

There are 2 versions but you will be unlikely to find just the bracket by itself unless you bought another complete wiper motor.  You can easily modify by cutting and joining in a piece. Make sure the distance between the holes is maintained or just less than. Definitely not more than the length or wiper overrun will result.

I made a few trial runs in the 5 min i had and they are ok not real happy with them.
You cannot fold a deep enought offset and being m8 the nut hits the fold line. Also mine is reamed to much so sits lower. It was a 5min muck around.

And you cant make it longer or it puts your throws out..

So i want to check out which way it rotates as the pic that came up on crumpsters  pics shows that a spacer is needed so i thought of doing a small flatbar with the slot cut and having a boss tapped m8 with the taper reamed into it so it simply screws on. But which way it rotates determines weather it will unscrew or not.

I hope i havent confused people as i often confuse myself.

Heres the one i did.

I'll have a look tonight NES. I'll also post a pic of the arm I'm using. It's a combination of the Commodore arm where it fits to the motor, plus the end of the arm that was on the existing wiper motor when I got the car.

Hi FCR, here are pics of my modified arm. The Commodore arm bent quite easily and left room for the original nut. I cut the Commodore linkage end off and tacked on the end of the EK arm. It had already been chopped about by the previous owner. Now I know it works I'll weld it fully.
Unsure about rotation direction. Will rewire the motor tomorrow night and report back if no-one else can reply before then. Regards, Martyn

Pete
Could you knock them up with the waterjet.

You could cut them out of 15mm plate steel/alloy using the side profile to get all the offsets and not have to worry about the folds and get an exact right angle. Then drill the holes etc.

Cheers
