Pete Lewis Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I guess any single spindle motor assy will get thro the panels , but need some torque support or it will go round and round instead of wipe wipe Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlubikey Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Saw an artical about doing this on a VW Type-2 Van and the author suggested using a pantograph wiper arm (from some sort of Vauxhall) so as to get good coverage with the offset (downwards) motor. Made me think of using a Stag wiper arm to keep it Triumph on the Atlas. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlubikey Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Here you go - Upgrading 1968~79 VW Type 2, front/rear wipers & washers, might give you some ideas. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJM Stag Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Years ago I fitted one to a Cortina Estate, best picking a rear wipe motor already fitted to a production car so an old Fiesta would probably be a good start. Must be loads in scrap yards, sorry, on the shelves in breakers commercial units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
