I have I think a single 8mm wiper turret with a nut fixing (Not the hex bolt type) and a lotus elise windscreen.
Anyone know/ recommend what type of wiper arm and blade will fit this turret and handle the curve of the lotus elise windscreen?
There is wiper arm and blade on eliseparts, but this requires the hex bolt type fixing.
If it's the motor out of a R25 or Rover 200 then you need the rear windscreen wiper arm from a Rover 200 Coupe or a Rover 200 hatchback (pre bubble shape)
The length of the blade you can choose to suit dependant on wipe area required - 18" (I think) from memory.
Hi Rich
The motor is from a VW, connected via two M6 ball & sockets to the turret.
Not sure where the turret came from.
but I do know it has an M8 nut on the top, with a spindle that is tapered from about 9mm to 10mm.
Can you check for me if the rover coupe wiper arm would fit this spindle?
And how long the wiper is?
