I'm in the process of rebuilding my mums mini and it appears that whilst at Bingley we've been sold a set of LHD wipers and i can't remember who by. They were in a pack with the washers and bezels.
So anyway is there anyway I can fit LHD wipers to a RHD mini? Is it possible or is it a stupid question and I'm going to have to buy new wiper arms??

Where the square end of the wiper arm has a 30 ish degree bend in it just before the lug the wiper blade clips to.
If you put the arm in a vice and bend them the other way by the same amount they may work. This all depends on the metal the type of arm and also if they are half decent quality. But I have managed it before. I would leave it untill you exhausted all means of exchanging them.
