Yep! :wink:

+10mm on the arm off the motor, -5mm on the wiper linkage bar.

I did mine with 8 x M6 bolts with nylock nuts and hacksawed them down nice and flat. 160 degrees of arc. You can adjust the centre position and centre the sweep as with any wiper linkage so no probs setting it all up. Get a wiper arm with a smooth cover from storm and style for about £30 unless you fancy faffing about with transit wiper arms and Citroen BX blades well into the night.

Al :grin:
