single wiper anyone ??? update: got the storm kit.....

[Riley 0]

ok guys so ive learnt that the wipers on the raddo's are not the best thing on the car,and that the lupo arms and blades seem to give good results...

 

but the thing is im not keen on the look of them :oops:

 

so is there anyone running a single wiper that works well?

 

dont worry im not into this middle of the screen business,would like one parked low at the drivers side. :-P

mainly for a subtle look,but will it do its job? :?

 

thanks,neil.

I run single wipers on my golf and corrado and they both work fine for me! Im using a fiat punto arm.

have a chat with Kevheywire... he's running the standard blades on the Lupo arms which looks stock, but gives the good wipers that using the lupo setup gives... 8)

I just make my own single wipers, I get about a 160° wipe.

Then I use the Punto arm to sit under the bonnet.

aye i made my own on the mk1,just lengthened the linkage a little and parked it at the drivers side.

 

just thought id try a kit this time,the cantalever thingy bob looks good. 8)

 

the passenger wiper bolts central to the car dosnt it? :oops:

 

cheers,neil.

Fraid not, if you are going to park it to the side you wont be able to tell, but wen its up the middle you can tell its about 20mm out.

ahh,ok cheers m8,ill be parking it at the drivers side.

 

neil. :D

[Riley 0]

what kits are you guys using?

 

i tried fitting an xtreme kit off ebay,and well to be honest it was an absolute pile of shit :roll:

 

it was catching everywhere (3 places) and the wiper spindle was bending and twisting.

 

and yep everything was fitted correctly,the instructions advise that bending the linkage may be needed...

 

what a load a bollocks that is!

 

neil. :?

Decent cantilever systems cost around £125 for the Corrado....anything significantly cheaper is going to be poo. Bonrath ones are the best ones I've seen in terms of construction.

[Riley 0]

cheers kevhaywire,do the likes of big boys toys sell the bonrath kit?

 

heard anything bad about the storm kits?

 

cheers,neil. :)

[Kevin Bacon 5]

Not sure to be honest. I can't remember who the main importer of Bonrath is now, I'm sure Awesome used to sell Bonrath stuff? Venom do one though for err, £125! Not sure what brand it is though....

[Riley 0]

ok thanks m8,ill have a look about :D

 

richards (venom) not far away from me,can normally save on delivery so i may give him a shout.

I didn't fit it, but from what the bodyshop shop said when they did, no more than 20 mins,

 

Mines parked central, have also had it across passenger aswell

[Riley 0]

No Worries

[Riley 0]

i got a storm kit for £65 delivered off ebay.

 

great kit in every way,the sweep,the speed,the linkage! 8)

 

just need to trim the blade to get it to sit lower,or maybe park it at the passenger side.

off topic slightly but cheesy, i bought revs just to see your car in it , what can i say ...schweet , very nice mate , a lot of work gone into that and some choice mods, i was only disappointed they didnt give more coverage, a couple of pages was nowhere near enough !!

 

cheers
