Windscreen Wipers for a Manx
Hey everyone!!!
Got my manx back on the road and it's looking great!!!
Was wondering what ppl have been doing for wipers???
I've got a VW beetle wiper motor - the one where the arms 'clip' on NOT bolt on. I have some short arms that clip onto it that i was using prior to
the resto but can't find any wiper assemblies that are short enough.
The end of the wiper arm has a loop on it that hooks into the wiper assembly - if that helps??
Any advice or previous experiences would help as it rained the other day (unexpectedly) so it was a fun drive home!!!! (luck i had the soft top
on!!)
Marty

I used assemblies from the back windows of small japanese hatchbacks. This gave me wiper blades of a length I could use, then shortened and bent the
arms to suit the windscreen.

They used the standard Beetle wiper arms, I needed to get better coverage on my screen so I got the longer blades and adjusted the arms.

injection question
Hi Marty
Great looking buggy mate. I dont have enough posts to pm you so I have to post this question here.
Is that a microtech injection controller mounted to your lower dash ? I have a supa sports build going and would llike to run injection could you
spare some time to chat about your system ?
Cheers
Blacky
