what are the wipers you used Stot?

Stot 8th August 2014 10:06 AM

The wiper system is classic Mini, like this but I got and old used set for £15.



The wiper arms and 8" blades I got from CBS as they are fully adjustible arms and I didnt know how long I would need to make them once the wheel boxes were installed. Now I know the length I could probably cut down the standard mini wiper arm I have but meh.

All in ~£70 for the wipers.

Heres the shortest video ever showing the sweep I have managed on my postage stamp windscreen.

And here is a picture of my Megasquirt install in progress.



It runs, not to great as I ruined a coil bit its all in, stock ECU is unplugged and everything seems to be working.

Wipers and windscreen are spot on mate, nice job.

So I took a hack saw to my loom yesterday and got rid of quite a few KG of copper and fuse box.






Under dash before,


and now.

Obviously have some to go back in but no where near as much, maybe 10-15%.

Haven't been following this thread as closely as I should - but these were my thoughts exactly - they look very nice!

Is that the cbs pre built wiring module, it a really tidy instillation

Yeah its the CBS one, A guy over on lcb was selling it so I picked it up. Its not designed for EFI so I am adding 2 seperate relays and fuses for that but they can run via the coil/fuel pump output on the CBS board overall.

Woot! :cool: Makes me wish I hadn't hacked the wiring out now... :o
