    single windshield wiper conversion

    I was doing some research on the single windshield wiper conversion.

    I didnt have much luck.

    Has anyone made the conversion? or have pans to.

    Thanks.

    i have plans to, but i am going to have to do some experimenting on an old wiper assembly.

    i figure if i can lengthen the part that turns on the stock assembly i could make a decent mono wiper ala home made

          I don't have a link handy, but the modification to the little arm has been documented countless times. It is only a matter on lengthening (welding) the little lever at the motor.

              i have made these 1-3 times a month for the last few years depending on how quick they sold. i havnt made any recently because of the freezing weather and only a small heater in my shop. but the modifications are relatively simple.

              i had to learn the hard way but there is a thread floating around on one of the forums on how to do it.

              search and you will find it

                Last I remember seeing is the hole in the arm has to be moved 12mm, but its been awhile since I saw that. I believe AKG motorsport also has a conversion kit.

                      Maybe it is time I mass produce that little bracket...

                            just so you know - installing single wiper conversion is Hitler's curse, you'll hate the day you decided to do that.. having said that, I have 3 AKG kits on 3 of my e30s
