Too early to tell yet Jim but you may be elevated to god status in my eyes! I
have not had time to investigate because the sun is out and the wifes MX5 had 2
broken rear springs that I have done tonight, so she can get the MOT and we can
see the daughter Rebecca drive a Lambo round Goodwood on W
The distance from the hinge to the beginning of the blade clip is
16cm, the bend is just prior to the blade. I took a photo for you but

Have you bent the angle into the wiper arms so they lie parallel with
the bottom of the screen? The blades are 10 inch the same as a mini.
Make sure the blade fits fully down into the socket as it can be very
close, i broke a set after removing the winscreen once and putting it

Blades are donor Sierra cut to length (per the build manual, I

standard springs are too high a rate and mine were checked at SVA - I
will check the lengths of the arms when I get home.

GPS for the mileage). Acceleration is not rapid, but will cruise all

Well yes 60+ is very good but there can always be
improvementsafter all this is just a fairly primitive diesel
engine with no electronics and a pretty restrictive exhaust I would
imagine...could be capable of more I would think...
I don't think I could downgrade to the 1600. might be too

Skinny tyres are run at higher pressure. The load on a tyre contact
patch is the internal pressure; so if you've got 450lbs on a wheel
with 30psi, there's a contact patch of 15 square inches - give or

front and back of the contac
Torque steer? Memo to brain - do not attempt to use first gear full
