Saw this pic on ig
Turns out the owner was able to tuck his wiper motor
Away from the engine bay for an ultra clean look
Does anyone know which wiper motor to use and where to put it so it's away from the engine compartment ???

Most likely positioned under the wing and re did the metal pipes.

With a bit of thought, the motor can be mounted on the 'cabin' side of the bulkhead and the bundy tube taken through a hole to get to the wiper boxes

depends on where you mount the motor. note if you change the length of the outer you will need to change the length of the inner drive cable.

It's just easier to do as suggested below

Someone did it on here but can't remember who... Was in one of the build threads.
😀 I read all of them so it's a bit fuzzy to which one...

Google 'wiper drive rack' or 'wiper drive cable' and there are companies that will supply cut to length. e.g. www.johncraddockltd.co.uk

 

Places like www.europaspares.com also do wiper kits.

CBS have lots of wiper parts which may be useful.

You may need some kind of flaring tool to make the outer tubing ends. The inner drive rack is continuous, just cut to length.

 

Or you can get independent motors like this:

Another possibility, needing LOTS of work. My daily driver, Ford S-Max, uses two independent motors which are synchronised through the central computer. They work in opposition. The pivot points are out at the corners of the screen, and one arm is joggled so it lies above the other when parked.

We sell the outer tube, and the inner cable at Somerford Mini
