MX250 wiper arms

Simple one... what wiper arms is everyone using for MX250 builds based on an NA/ Mk1 car?

Want to know lengths really...

Cheers

How did you deal with the spindles being way back into the body?

How old is your kit ? The later kits had the scuttle trimmed to allow access to the spindles .
If you have an older kit then you can purchase (from eBay) Land Rover extension boots .
They screw onto your spindle , the wiper fits onto them .

Option B would be trim the scuttle back to allow access to spindles , as per the later kits.

Mines an older one, DM... No recess.

Must admit I haven't tried as to whether the OE Arms fit onto the spindle extensions (got some of them and did the M8 nut trick some time ago)...
