    Thanks Jim. I'll get the Dremel out and tinker soon. Got a connection now for a welder.

    I need this in before the M30. That linkage was the biggest PITA.

      what you mean with pin?
      I didnt punched the pin.. just cut it between center shaft and pin ( that attached to plastic linkage )
      what I did was same as yours, lengthen it 10mm.
      and cut the driver side wiper arm shaft
      so, it remain 3 places to hold this linkage.. center, driver and wiper motor...
      I didnt cut and shortened passenger cowl...

          The whole idea is you can make your own via modifying the wiper linkage.

          Trying to find the wiper with the miniwiper, now, is a search you need to commit to.

                Thanks for your post Raul.

                This man knows what he is talking about and helped me a lot with the project. When I built the prototype I had a few members ask to have one built but they were not serious enough to pay for the parts and labor. I could build them but the cost is what it is and most don't want to invest that much money into the windshield wiper for their cars.

                Cheers,

                  I know but, was hoping someone had one just sitting around and wanted to sell, had to try,

                  but overall very good info.

                      You are selling the wiper linkage and wiper arm!?!?!?!?



                      Buddy who did the fab work on mine said it would be very easy to do a few of these linkage modifications. If folks are interested, I will let him know.. gather up a few linkages and he could do necessary mods. Won't solve the arm issue but you don't neeeeeeed the wiper with mini-wiper.

                            If you got one BNIB for ~$50, that is a steal of a deal.
