LHD G60, cant remeber the gromet size.. I bought a box from halfords..

 

the wipers got a 13mm nut, loosen it off, wiggle it abt & it'll come off..

 

undoo the boot cover from inside & undoo the bolts etc.. its abit awkward but it comes out with abit of TLC NOT lol

I like mine, very usefull and to remove a std part like that forces it to look like a basic model as they usually have gromets to cover the holes where you were too tight to pay to have the option fitted.

It's a dogger bank idea in my opinion.

 

Just silly, it makes no difference, leave it alone.

Got myself a wee grommit type thing from Halfords to go in the gap, was a five min job.

 

very worthwhile, :D

Where bouts did you find it in halfords as they are muppets in the one near me!

[Spykee 0]

they are hanging up in the same place as you get bullet connectors and zip ties etc from......

 

they are in a box like the bullet connectors, for about 2.49 i think?

[kvwloon 0]

think they do a packet of various sizes, you know, hanging on the rack with all their other bargains, like 4 (four, count 'em!) crimp connectors for around £50, or 2 Scotchloks for a fiver etc! !

I now have a de-wipered rear!

 

I actually found the motor very easy to remove, but i'm still having difficulty with getting the grommit to stay in place. fitted a 13mm one from halfords, but it seems very small.

 

Its just about in place, but looks like superglue may have to come out!

[chrishill 0]

touch of silicone or mastick inside will do the trick mate, needs to be water-tight ideally!

Nice Marcel, jelous on numerous counts........

 

A straight milteck tailpipe

A spot on paint job in my fav colour

The right rear lights for the colour

and a garage wide enough to open the door and get out!

 

I took your advice on the gromit, halfords pack does have just the right bit. I also touched up round the hole as you will scrape it slightly, and silconed the gromit in to be sure.

i need the option of putting it back really,im driving to loch ness soon.

[Henny 0]

Riley, yup, welded and smoothed, but I had the lump left in so I can still reverse the mod if I ever feel like it simply by re-drilling the hole... 8)

 

VR6, oooh, very neat... 8)
