Just get it SVA'd without any screen on then you don't get any problems about the high of the aeroscreen or have to remove a heater box and all that plumbing..... :cool:  :t-up:

The wiper motor is straight out of a mini.... you may even find a nice goldseal recon unit in the scrappy if you are lucky.

Wiper boxes are a westfield special (at westfield sprecial price)

Heater...as others have said, the mini unit is ideal. all i had to do was to remove the front pannel and botch up a new way of redirecting the air flow. The mini screen ducts and tubes are fine too and are sufficiently clear of all the instruments etc. simply fix the ducts with a good helping of silicon.

The unit sits happily on the TTunel, doesnt get in the way, and I simply secured it too the lower dashboard hoop with 2 self tappers, and it was solid as a rock.

Needs fitting before the scuttle goes on ideally, as it was a mare to get out.

I took my heater out last summer 'cos i felt like i was in the slightly 'puffy' section of the club. (well, to help shave off some lbs really)

Mine may go back in when/if I sell the car, otherwise i would offer it to you. but i could probably get some pics of the thing if that will help you decide what to do.

Or, what about a 12v travel hairdryer ducted in?

Could be effective enough for SVA

No they're not.......I think you'll find they're fitted to Mini's too..........They certainly aren't "specially made" for a Westfield...........

whilst on  the subject of wipers, does anyone know the difference between the ones that park to the right, as seen on earlier cars, ie my '93 kit (and looks like your road car as well Blatters), and the latter ones that park to the left and look to give a beter sweep of the wiper up to the drivers side pillar, pronbably makes no difference when the rain is going over the screen and onto the inside ???

Blatters...

IIRC, the wiper boxes that came off the plundered mini were approx 1" shorter than the ones that westfield told me i needed from them and they were waaay too short to go through the scuttle and finishing strip whilst keeping an adequate angle for the arms on the screen.

And if you are right...then i will be p******** that i paid 55 squid for the pair!

That said....others may have been infinately cleverer than me when fitting them.

Both my wiper sets have spacers that are longer than 1", as far as I can tell...............

And it's just occurred to me that I recall some-one saying that they may be from a Land Rover..........I'd look at Morris Marina's/Itals too..........
