It seems like I'm doomed to making everybleedingthingmyself!!

Because the screen is so small compared to a full size one, I have now realised there are no wipers nor wiper blades that are actually small enough to fit straight on.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!!!.

I trial fitted the rubber into the screen aperture to see what size wiper blades I would need, and the measurement from the top of the rubber to the lower edge is only 11 inches.

Really `10 inch blades would be pushing my luck a bit, as it looks in tests as though they would foul the rubber at the lower edge.

I have found some 9 inch blades on the internet, and ordered some, as without them it will not pass the Mot.

They are Renault mundane rear screen blades, and are plastic, but right now, I'm not in a position to worry about that.

Once its through an Mot, I can then mod up some stainless ones to look correct.

until I get the wiper arms shortened and the blades fitted, I cannot progress any further with the wiper fitting, as I need to know the wiper sweep and where they will park in order to drill holes in the screen to fit the damned things.

Will it never end!

Watch this space.
