best thing to do is buy a storm single wiper kit for just over £100, but they're quite hard to fit. Don't bother bodging your existing wiper to a single one as the sweep isn't big enough and you'll fail your mot :smile:

Rob is quite correct the sweep can be altered but I really wouldn't bother as it can lead to some problems.

Get a Storm wiper kit like mine, they ain't that easy to fit but I got mine on in just under two hours. If you need a hand let me know

How do you alter the sweep then [ERRR] a few people around my way have done it but it only sweeps half the screen-just like a section of it in the centre :???:

You shorten a bit, not the linkage but the bit on the wiper which the linkage joins to??????

Fcuk it I dunno, I downloaded a file on how to do it though as soon as I get some bloody time off work I'll get down the scrappies pick me self up a straight wiper arm (306 Rear) and then sort it! :wink:

I put the motor out an AX with a custom wiper. However, the hole in the middle of the scuttle pannel for the wiper is not centred it is about 1.5 inches out so i cut the section out and moved it then re welded it using a section out a donor car. Probably too much fan*ying about but it pis*ed me off cause it didn't look in the middle of the screen.
