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.

Cheers
Stot

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWfW00bISv8

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.

Cheers
Stot

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%.

Cheers
Stot

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

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.

Cheers
