Hi there people!

I just remembered a mini i saw in MiniWorld a while back now, and the owner had made the window wipers vertical with a piece of ss in between the two.

I don't know if these are just on 'Race' mini's and i have a feeling they are mostly on Japanese mini's??

Just wondering if anyone would have any suggestions on whether i would have to make these myself, or if there is some sort of kit available??

Any picture of the described window wipers would be very helpful!! :D

Reagards,

You could make something similar, looks like just a couple of rose joints. It also looks like the wiper rack needs modifying to reduce the sweep.

I worked out they are about £95, they have been reduced from 21,000 YEN...

I just like the look of them and haven't seen many minis around here with them, so they would be something different i suppose! :D

Plus i think you can position them so they start motion from the middle of the screen, so they wouldn't be in the way, too much... :lol:

Staying on this theme...went onto the Delta web site, couldn't find these BUT there again my Japanese translation skills are a little rusty, HOWEVER did find some Silicon treated COLOURED windscreen wiper rubbers, OR am I reading it wrong? Dpoes anyone know of this or seen it advertised in the UK ?
